# What is the time commitment to serve at a retreat?

Here are some things you should consider:  
  
*   The international retreats in February, May, and October are 10–11 day experiences, depending on travel.
  
*   The July Colorado retreat is 7 days plus personal travel to the location.
  
*   Gather events are 5-day virtual events, and therefore require no travel.
