Are you looking for a unique place to hold your special event? If you value diversity and community, and your proposal fits with the “healthy bodies, healthy minds and healthy imaginations” model, we'd love to make a space for you! 

Work with REC Retreats and turn your creative ideas for a retreat into reality. The word, retreat, is defined as the act of "stepping back" or "withdrawing".  Our Lummi Island location is ideal for creating a sense of "escaping" from routine; it is this very withdrawal that allows participants to decompress and leaves them open to new ideas and learning.

Inspired by the precious feeling of community on the island, Kjerstin, REC Retreats founder and owner, fosters that [sometimes rare] experience of unconditional belonging with every person at every event. It is easy to provide a beautiful facility in a beautiful location, but it takes something special to provide the beautiful sense of unconditional acceptance. You foster creativity and learning through thoughtful, well-organized and educational activities. Kjerstin provides a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. Together, we will give your guests a safe place to grow, a treasured sense of unconditional belonging and warm memories of an exceptional event.

Realize your dreams for an event of your own making. REC Retreats has joyfully hosted successful events focusing on yoga, wellness, creative arts, quilting, memoir writing, heritage skills, team-building, cooking, self discovery, and more!
