PREPARE FOR THE UPCOMING

BOSTON SPRING 2026

Retreat for Women

GET READY FOR MARCH 6!

Step 1: Request Your Room Preference

We’ve reserved a block of rooms at The Kendall Hotel in Cambridge with three accommodation options available, all rooms are offered at a special fixed rate of $869.67 for three nights. While booking a room is optional, we strongly encourage it—especially if you live more than 30 minutes from the venue. Room preferences will be honored in the order they are received. 
Room options for a three-night stay ($869.67)
  • Deluxe King Room
  • Superior King Room
  • Double Queen Room*
  • No Room Reservation (I live within 30 minutes of the venue)
  • Undecided - I am unsure of my preference (I will decide by 2/20)
*If you would like a double room, please notify us ASAP so we can make arrangements with the hotel — their doubles book up quickly.
Lunch and dinner are included with your retreat registration. The breakfast buffet is included with room reservations and available to commuters for $25 per person. The retreat program does not include dinner on Thursday or Sunday night. We will provide a list of local restaurants when you arrive.
