Seabeck All-Community Camp

August 18-24, 2024

For 63 years, CSL families, singles, and couples come together for a week of heaven at CSL’s All Community Summer Camp at the historic Seabeck Conference Center on Washington’s scenic Hood Canal. We are so excited to once again welcome our community to our little slice of heaven!

Seabeck All-Community Camp is created for and by the community and includes everything from workshops led by our amazing staff ministers, playshops, arts and crafts led by community members, and other activities like movie night, evening meditations, a musical event with our featured musical guest, and our famous Seabeck Talent Show. Don’t worry, there is also plenty of time to work on your tan, go for a swim, or simply do nothing at all. A favorite past-time of many is sitting on the porch of the Inn in a rocking chair, watching the sun rise and set over Seabeck Bay. Whether you are new to camp, or this is your 25th year, you are welcome!

Seabeck All-Community Camp 2024 is open for registration. To register or be added to a waiting list, contact our registrar Heidi Dillehunt at registrar@spiritualliving.org or 206-527-8801.

Download the registration form here. Your application will be processed in the order it is received.

Half Day Registration is also available at this REGISTRATION LINK.

 

Morning Workshop Series 

Every year we offer a morning workshop series led by some of our attending ministers. Here is a taste of what we offer: 

Being the Change without Losing Your Joy 

This week we are focusing on naming the skills, values, and actions that bring us joy. By unearthing our passions and gifts, we learn how to joyfully advocate for justice, peace, and liberation. Guided by the book, The Lightmaker’s Manifesto, by Karen Walrond, we learn how to become makers of light. Using interactive exercises, we’ll be exploring the following questions and discovering our own answers:  

Monday: Part 1- Clearing  

Facilitated by: Rev. Abigail Schairer and Rev. David Robinson 

Can you keep facing the challenges of the world without burning out? What if your joy could fuel your advocacy in the world? 

Tuesday: Part 2- Tinder 

Facilitated by: Rev. Bonnie Barnard 

Since each one of us is a unique emanation of God, what makes YOU unique? Discover your Light Signature through a combination of loves, interests, skills, and desires. A fun morning of guided self-introspection with a partner. 

Wednesday: Part 3- Spark 

Facilitated by: Rev. Abigail Schairer 

Do you have a life mission? We’ll be creating a “Spark” Statement using multiple modalities to tune into it.  

Thursday: Part 4- Fire and Light 

Facilitated by: Rev. David Robinson 

How do you catch your breath long enough to make mindful decisions, rooted in self-care? Who is in your star collective? 

Friday: Part 5- Spreading the Light 

Facilitated by: Rev. Abigail Schairer and Rev. David Robinson 

We’ll be creating a SPIRE (Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Relational, and Emotional) tracker so you can take what you learned out into the world and apply it to your life right now.
