The Whidbey Institute hosts one-day and multi-day programs, workshops, retreats, conferences, and strategic planning sessions. We do not offer lodging, meeting or event space for personal stays unrelated to programs taking place onsite.
Please use our online Program Inquiry Form, found below, to inquire about holding your organization’s gathering at the Whidbey Institute.
The Program Inquiry Form is the first path toward a conversation with us about available dates, rates, facilities, tours, and other aspects of bringing your work to the Whidbey Institute. For a website tour of our onsite facilities and land, see our Visit page.
We welcome program inquiries, particularly from BIPOC led organizations and youth groups, that align with our commitment to racial equity, transformative change, embodied leadership, climate action, and self-organization. We hope this supports program leaders in finding a long-term home for purpose-aligned work at the Whidbey Institute.
Please be as specific as possible in your Program Inquiry Form, though your plans may still be in formation. The form can be copied/pasted if you would like to draft your answers offline.
Applications are considered by program fit, not by date received. We strive to respond to inquiries within one month or sooner if at all possible.
After submitting the Program Inquiry Form for review by our Program Development Team and if deemed a good fit, we will look at scheduling inquiries for dates 6-12+ months in advance. Dates within shorter timeframes may be considered if space is available. We also maintain a wait list for those interested in booking space that may become available due to cancellations or other changes.
Thank you for your interest in bringing your work to the Whidbey Institute!
