There is nothing like a
WILCOX WEEKEND
Wilcox Weekend (#13) is back at a new location in Montreat, NC this Fall Oct. 3-6, 2024 and you are invited!
Inspiration. Creativity. Connection.
Registration information is below with the weekend’s agenda following soon. We hope to see you in these beautiful WNC mountains in the Fall.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Hello friends! First and foremost, we are someplace new for Wilcox Weekend #13 and while we will always value the memories made at Kanuga, we are excited about our new location in Montreat and the different experiences this space will inspire.
Our hub for the weekend will be the William Black Lodge in Montreat, NC located just over an hour North of our previous location at Kanuga. Not only do we have this amazing lodge to call our own but we’ll also be attending two shows at White Horse Black Mountain over the course of the weekend. There are lots of great hikes right nearby, so we'll be doing that as well.
Our leadership at the moment, and there will probably be more, include – David Wilcox (of course!), Andy Gullahorn, Jean Rohe and David LaMotte. All are welcome and we will be sharing a more detailed agenda for the weekend soon.

LODGING
(BOOKED SEPARATELY)
Wilcox Weekend 13 will take place at William Black Lodge, located in the history-rich community of Montreat, NC. You can choose to have a private room or a shared room at the lodge. You have the option of commuting if you plan to stay off-site or if you are local to the area.
The rates with the lodge are hard to beat so book early because we do have a limited capacity. Please note, the lodge does not have an elevator so if stairs are not your favorite be sure to book a room on the first floor.
If you are coming to the retreat with a friend or partner, please provide their name when you register. If you would prefer a shared room but are not planning to attend with someone you know, we will try to pair you with a compatible roomie and you can make a new friend.
Don’t miss the secret code!

As a reminder, your meals are built into your program fee when you register for Wilcox Weekend above. They are not part of your lodging costs so if you plan to stay elsewhere or you are local, you are covered! All meals will be provided at the lodge from Thursday dinner to Sunday brunch.
If you’re bringing your kiddos and want them to stay in the room with you, there’s an additional person fee of $45 and the lodge will provide an air mattress and linens. You can save the fee if you bring your own air mattress and linens. They do not have cots or rollaway beds.

WILCOX WEEKEND TRIBE FUND DETAILS – GIVE AND RECEIVE
‘We know that the distribution of money in our society has little to do with our value to a community…’ - David LaMotte
Receive
We want this event to be accessible so if your funds are limiting your ability to join us, please contact us to discuss your needs before you register and we will try to work with you to look for a way to make the retreat possible via the Wilcox Weekend Tribe Fund.
Give
All of us have times when we are feeling strong and solid. And we all have times when we could use help from our brothers and sisters. For most of us, it is really hard to ask for help when we could use it. Over the years, we at Wilcox Weekend have chosen to respond to this truth by putting money into a Tribe Fund which allows those who are able to help those of us who need a hand. Only you know where you sit on that continuum. If you are able to pay more than the actual cost of the weekend, you will be contributing to the strength of our community. Thanks!

CANCELLATION POLICY
There is a $50 non-refundable administration fee incurred at the time of registration for Wilcox Weekend. If you cancel prior to Sept 19th, your registration fee minus this $50 fee will be refunded. Please note, the cancellation policy for the lodge will also be in place and is separate from ours for Wilcox Weekend.
