What’s coming up
Join us for a hands-on art workshop led by Anselm Guild artist Lisa Nowak at the beautiful Rock Ledge Ranch.
Continuing an Anselm Society tradition, we’ll gather a couple dozen people to enjoy reading a Shakespeare play together (“Twelfth Night”).
Join us for an evening of songs, stories, short skits, poetry, and s’mores around the campfire.
Join like-minded friends, tea cup in hand, for a genial conversation about Anselm’s summer theme and ordinary time.
True to hobbit tradition,
we're offering not just
one meal, but a full weekend
of feasting—on food, fellowship,
and the fruits of imagination.
In the works…
