Retreats and Workshops

Inn Serendipity Woods provides the ideal space for small retreats, family reunions or organizational development workshops.

Inn Serendipity Woods offers a spacious main room (with fireplace), three separate sleeping areas (two bedrooms and a sleeping loft), large kitchen, and wrap-around front porch; the facility provides plenty of space for deep discussions, brainstorming, community-bonding while preparing meals and a secluded place to go for a dip in the pond. The space accommodates up to six people.

In 2000, members of the Stone Soup Cooperative, an intentional community committed to joy and justice, made a journey to Inn Serendipity Woods for their annual retreat. This is one bunch of dedicated people we've so enjoyed getting to know and learn from. Every time we cross paths, whether at the Woods or on the farm at Inn Serendipity, we are renewed with hope, recharged with energy and fueled with passion.

Located in the Uptown neighborhood of Chicago, Stone Soup and their new sister cooperative, Stone Soup II, provide housing and inspiration to social service providers, community organizers, artists, environmental and human rights activists, teachers, volunteers and students.
