Fly Fishing and Spirituality Retreat

Enjoy a long weekend on the sparkling Housatonic River. In fly-fishing, and in our lives, we sometimes need to learn to catch and release — to allow the unpredictable waters of life to run their course and to hear the still, small voice of God in nature, speaking to us in new ways. Accompanied by experienced guides, we’ll take time — both on the river and off — to consider how the practice of fly-fishing might teach us something profound about the joys and sorrows of our lives. No experience necessary.
