September 28 - October 1
Not only is the Rhode Island Retreat an epic adventure, it is also a GREAT value! The Graduate hotel is sumptuous and historic at an amazing rate. Our receptions with heavy hors d’oevres are set overlooking the Providence River and downtown. After breakfast, we depart for Newport and embark on our mimosa cruise of Narragansett Bay then hop on a trolley to tour the town famous for the summer mansions of American’s titans of industry during the Gilded Age—including a tour of The Breakers. Saturday, enjoy a CLE on future financial planning before departing for Simmons Farm for a Goat Hike and Cuddling party. Upon return to the Graduate, take a short walk to Café Nuovo for an epic end-of-retreat dinner front and center to a full lighting of WaterFire Festival. All activities, food and CLE included in the registration price.
