Travel Fees

In-person retreat presentations are currently available only on a case by case basis.

to ask if it would be possible to book this retreat for your group.

Trish O'Connor's ability to travel is limited by her health status, but on a case-by-case basis, she would be happy to come present a retreat in person for your community. Depending on your location, travel fees may apply. Fees for ground travel from our home base in Elkhart, Indiana to the address where the retreat is to be held are based on the current IRS standard charge for mileage, with the first 50 miles of round trip driving distance being free. Due to Trish's vulnerable health at this time, air travel is not feasible, but for distances greater than 100 miles each way, your group could purchase a round trip Amtrak ticket and provide transportation to and from the train station at your end. Coach class would be acceptable for trips less than 14 hours in duration, but a "roomette" sleeper cabin would be required for longer trips.

Whether by car or train, for distances greater than 50 miles each way, we require overnight accommodations for Trish the night before and the night after the retreat. (These accommodations need not be at a hotel, if a suitable guest room is available.)

To receive a quote for the travel fee to your location, please click the Contact link and send us the address where the retreat is to be held.


Although an in-person retreat is ideal, if travel fees put us outside your budget or if Trish is unable to come in person, contact us to request options such as video conferencing or a "retreat in a box."
