About the Retreat
Is Radiant Moms’ Retreat a conference with speakers and trainings?
Nope. Homeschool conferences are wonderful — but they can also create insecurity and stress about our homeschool choices. Radiant Moms’ Retreat is meant to be different! This weekend will be an opportunity to focus on rest, relationships, and spiritual renewal. Time is set aside on Sunday for individual devotions (Morning Watch), but we will not host a speaker or trainings.
Is Radiant Moms’ Retreat affiliated with Classical Conversations®?
No. While the retreat is organized by a CC mom, especially for CC moms, we have no official affiliation with, or endorsement from, Classical Conversations® Inc.
Why is the retreat in February?
Homeschooling can be hard anytime — but many homeschooling moms find it especially challenging during the chilly, fretful days of February. The first weekend in February is the perfect time to get away with friends, and find the encouragement we need to finish strong.
Why is the retreat in Northwest Arkansas?
Northwest Arkansas is an easy drive from the surrounding states, and offers a wonderful variety of attractions (many that are inexpensive or free), without the bustle and traffic of a large metropolitan area.
Can I bring my husband, kids, or non-CC friends?
This retreat is a CC moms-only weekend. Nursing infants are welcome, but the rest of the family (and non-CC friends) should not attend.
Registration
Do I need to register in order to participate?
Yes, please. Registration gives us a headcount for community itineraries, and special events, while the nominal fee funds retreat amenities like the hospitality suite.
What if I need to cancel my Registration?
If you need to cancel for any reason, please contact us as soon as possible. Retreat Registration is refundable until January 15, 2022. After January 15th, Retreat Registration may be transferred to another attendee but refunds will not be available.
If you must cancel, don’t forget to cancel your hotel reservations! Rooms at our Retreat hotel are refundable until 48 hours prior to check-in.
Lodging
How do I book my hotel room?
Upon completing your registration for the retreat, you’ll receive a Confirmation Email from SageMint with a link to download our 2022 Hotel Information. To reserve your hotel room, download the PDF and follow the booking instructions. (The download link can also be found on your SageMint Account page anytime. Just go to sagemint.com and visit My Account > Orders and you’ll find it there.)
Do I have to stay at the retreat hotel?
Not at all. You are welcome to make other arrangements, including staying with local friends or family.
However, if you plan to book a hotel room, we encourage you to take advantage of the deeply-discounted rate at our retreat hotel! After three years of experiences with various accommodations in the area, this hotel has been specially chosen because it’s ideal for a relaxing weekend with your fellow moms. We think you will find it comfortable, clean, quiet, and safe — at an affordable price. You’ll also enjoy its many amenities, including free breakfast and WiFi, indoor pool, fitness center, plenty of common space for good conversations, and — of course — the Radiant hospitality suite.
Do I have to stay for both nights?
No. If you are unable to stay for both nights, please join us for as long as you can.
Retreat Amenities
What will the t-shirts look like?
Our shirt design is still in the works. We hope to reveal the new design 3-4 weeks before the retreat.
What will be in the Swag Bag?
The contents of our Swag Bags are TOP SECRET. Each Swag Bag will include a t-shirt (design to be revealed), but you can expect additional fun — and possibly tasty — surprises to please and delight!
Can I add a Swag Bag if I’ve already registered?
Yes! Just visit this page and order a Swag Bag through our checkout process. NOTE: Swag Bags availability ends on January 14, 2022.
Scholarships
Are scholarships available for the Retreat?
We strive to keep Radiant Moms’ Retreat costs low so every mom can participate. Limited registration scholarships for moms in need are available. Please contact us to inquire.
How can I help other moms attend the Retreat?
Our Pay-It-Forward Fund provides scholarships for moms on tight budgets — and those who need some extra encouragement to get away. You can sponsor a friend (or a stranger!) by donating to the Pay-It-Forward Fund in increments of $5. Designate your donation for a friend by name, for a specific CC community, or make it available to anyone in need. We will contact your designee with a discount code in the amount of your donation. (You are welcome to donate anonymously, if you wish!)
