Sunshine, culture, and lots of laughter at our GWADA culture retreat 🌞🏡

We learned about traditional Chinese folk houses, from calligraphy and trying on bamboo hats to forest walks and group photos, experiencing a little piece of “Yunnan” in West Virginia. Grateful for this warm community and for the beautiful China Folk House.
