Thanks for your overwhelming support! Registration is currently full, but if you have already registered there are still class spots open. Check the listing below for additions.

***See the instructions below for steps and tips for registering/paying for the retreat online.***

1. Log in to our site. If you are a CCQG member or attended our retreat last year, you have an account already with your email as user name. Use the "Forgot Password" button on the login page if you can't remember the password you gave yourself or are a new member and haven't yet logged in. You will get a link to change your password at your email address. If you are not a member and are new to our retreat, you will be entering your email and contact info during the payment screen and that will create your account. You do not need to be a member to join us at the retreat.

2. **Register for the retreat first. Registration will be listed first below, so you don't forget. This is required.**

3. When you get to the payment screen, pay your bill or press the "invoice me" option if you are going to add additional classes. This prevents our program from hitting your credit card individual times for each event.

4. When you have added the last class for your session, press the button to "View Invoices". From there you will be able to review your classes and pay for them online all at once. Please pay promptly. Unpaid invoices after 30 days will result in your registration and classes being cancelled to free up spaces for other attendees.

5. All finished! Log out of your session. You can return at any time following the same log in procedure listed above, if you want to add more classes. See you at the retreat!
