Our Annual Retreat is a not-to-be-missed, overnight event! The Annual Retreat involves opportunities to connect with attorneys from firms and organizations across the state, to receive continuing legal education ("CLE") credit, and to relax at the beautiful Wentworth By The Sea in New Castle New Hampshire, NH's oldest seaside resort and event facility.
The 2026 event will take place on March 20 and 21, 2026 at the Wentworth By The Sea, 588 Wentworth Road, New Castle, NH 03854.

She believes that you have to find the time management system that works for you, that solutions are found by paying attention to the present moment, and that just like Michelangelo had to chip away at the stone to find the statue, we have to get rid of all the extra stuff that isn’t the core of your life.
