Upcoming Meetings
Northern California Camping Retreat 2026
Join us for the 2nd Annual Eden Springs Gathering
($50 gets you in and fed.)
Thursday, July 9 dinner - Sunday, July 12 breakfast
(Just North of Lake Spaulding, off I-80 and Highway 20)
Closest Airports - Reno/Tahoe (1.25 hours approx) or Sacramento (1.5 hours approx) Bay area airports are about 3 hours away. For those flying in, there is a limited supply of camping equipment available upon request.
This private 320 acre nature preserve/refuge is at 5000+ feet and in a natural setting with rustic amenities in the Tahoe National Forest. It is near several lakes with swimming and hiking opportunities both during and when not engaged in retreat activities. It is camping. There is a main building to utilize for prep and coordination, but the gathering is a camping focused event with a few indoor spots with cots available if needed. The property was purchased and is managed by ALL Member Russ Gustafson and family and held in trust as part of a non-profit corporation.
Those invited are people exploring or seeking truth and purpose and who desire to connect with others to build brotherly/sisterly bonds, while strengthening each individual's own inner purpose. Let us live the gospel together, while attuning our bodies, minds and spirits and working to establish a culture of doing good, being kind, and loving one another. The property provides opportunities to help foster, beautify, build, protect, restore, and nurture the natural surroundings for ourselves and for future generations. Young adults and families are welcome and encouraged to participate. Lots of room and opportunities for young energy. Reach out with any questions.
The cost will cover food and is $50 per person or $25 for children under 18 with parent(s). We decided to get the menu more specifically for the weekend this year instead of having it spread out amongst a lot of people shopping for it, so as to reduce waste and keep it organized. Chef Judy Langston (of Truthseekers fame) will be preparing meals with helpers. People will still want to bring any extras, snacks, water, etc. but the meals will be provided.
Number of attendees is limited so as not to overwhelm the property. Please reserve at the earliest opportunity. If you are interested in attending, please send a note to retreat2026.info@edensprings.
You can pay the $50 fee ($25 for children) online, which will secure your spot, via the donation link at http://truthseekers.site/

Topics vary, but generally are about how we can grow spiritually, connect within and with each other and what projects we're working on.

"There is a real purpose in the socialization of spirituality. It is the purpose of group spiritual activities to dramatize the loyalties of spiritual pursuit; to magnify the lures of truth, beauty, and goodness; to foster the attractions of supreme values; to enhance the service of unselfish fellowship; to glorify the potentials of family life; to promote spiritual education; to provide wise counsel and spiritual guidance; and to encourage group worship." (Urantia Paper 99)
