2027 FORMA Conference

The Diocese of East Tennessee invites Forma Conference attendees to take sacred time away from their desks to be in imaginative community at Grace Point Camp and Retreat Center on the shores of beautiful Watts Bar Lake in Kingston, TN. Outside of the virtual conference experience, participants will have the opportunity to engage their own imagination, contemplative prayer, and be grounded in the beauty of Southern Appalachia.

Registration includes single-room lodging with a private bath and common living space in our new retreat cottages and meals. It does not include the conference ticket itself (available here). This event is limited to 18 participants.

Please register by Friday, January 8.

We have two stay options available: 3 nights for $425 (Monday with an arrival of 12:30 PM-Thursday with a departure time of 5:30 PM) or 4 nights for $525 (Monday with an arrival of 12:30 PM-Friday with a departure time of 10:00 AM).

Please note that the Grace Point Camp & Retreat Center campus is not highly accessible for those who are physically different-abled as many paths are gravel/dirt and inclines may be challenging grades.
