Getting There
Flying
The retreat center is just over an hour north of Santa Rosa, CA in Mendocino County. The nearest airport is Charles M. Schulz – Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa. A few major airports have direct flights there, otherwise you’ll need to grab a connection to fly into there. The next closest airports are Oakland International Airport (OAK), San Francisco International Airport (SFO), and Sacramento International Airport (SMF). They’re each about 2-3 hour drives away from the retreat center.
Transport
We’ll have a community travel sheet where everyone can enter their arrival and departure flights + airports to organize carpooling/shared car rentals and possibly even organize a shuttle/van pickup at the airports where a bunch of guys are arriving.
