A retreat for adults into board games, sci-fi, cosplay and fandoms of every kind, with thoughtful speakers and plenty of time to play. November 12–15, 2026 · November 11–14, 2027.
Code, cosplay, board games, sci-fi, or something nobody else has ever heard of: whatever you’re into, there’s a seat at the table for you. Geek Gathering is a retreat for adults who’d love a few days with people who get it, and who are happy to think about God along the way.
Thoughtful speakers and guided reflection take on big theological questions, and you don’t need any background in theology to join in. The rest of the time belongs to the games, board and video alike, and to the late-night conversations that tend to happen when a room full of fans stays up past bedtime.
Every meal is taken care of, so the only thing left to plan is which game comes out first. Stay in a double or single room, or come as a commuter.
Come as you are. Geek out fully.
