What can you get from a CITR retreat? Learn old-time skills and fresh, new methods in a hands-on way with in-person mentorship from fellow CITR friends. Take home fun and functional know-how for self-sufficient living and old-fashioned crafting–and take home what you make, too.

What do CITR Retreat attendees have to say?
“I would do this again in a heart beat! Maybe we can get away with making any CITR gathering ‘The funnest place on Earth’ and not having Disney sue us? LOL… but then again, isn’t it the people that make the event and not always the environment? So, YES! Being with a group of my CITR friends is fun beyond words!” –Blyss
“I learned so much and my horizons have been expanded beyond my comprehension. I have new skills for a lifetime and so many new friends around the country. I met the most amazing women, whom I consider my kindred spirits, thank you also for the memories.” –cincyjojo
“The friendships I formed are priceless in my mind and I cannot wait to see you all again. I learned so much and when I got home yesterday I made bread, cinnamon rolls, pepperoni rolls, herbed garlic biscuits and I am making cheese now!” –Banjobetsy
“I can’t even put into words how much this weekend meant to me (but I’ll try). Walking into a room of people who understand and love the same things that I do – getting back to nature, cooking, preserving, crafting, knowing how to be more self-sufficient – it was like finding my tribe!” –Canner Joann
