Meals at WMAW
The St. Iakovos Retreat Center has a full kitchen and a staff who knows how to put the “comfort” back in “comfort food”. As WMAW’s on-going home, we’ve also taught them that martial artists eat BIG.
Admission includes a hot, buffet-style breakfast and lunch each day of the workshop; dinners will also be served on Friday and Saturday.
Saturday Night Celebratory Reception
WMAW strives to join all present in a fellowship celebrating the resurrection and preservation of our Western martial culture, as well as an honor to the memory of those Masters of the Art who have gone before. (Considering how rowdy the after-hours festivities can get, it’s not exactly a reverent remembrance, but we think that the old masters would have liked it that way!)
The social centerpiece of the Workshop is Saturday night’s celebratory drinks reception, held after dinner in the main hall. The reception is a “dress your best” occasion; of course, what qualifies as “your best” can vary a fair bit! Medieval gowns, Renaissance doublets, 19th century nattiness, or modern dress duds have all made their appearance, and lends an air festivity.
In addition to the fellowship of the feasters themselves, we plan a variety of entertainments, including exhibition/demonstration matches showcasing the breadth and depth of the Western martial tradition.
