SUMMARY:Reconnecting with True Self: A Courage and Renewal® Seasonal Retreat Series
DESCRIPTION:Three seasonal retreats\, the first in February 2025\, a second in May 2025\, and a third in October 2025 will invite you to slow down\, listen\, and reconnect with your life and work at a deeper level\, in whatever life-season you find yourself. \nWinter: February 6-8\, 2025\nSpring: May 29-31\, 2025 and\nFall: October 2-4\, 2025 \nOur first gathering will be held in the stillness of winter\, warmed by the fireplace and stirred by our theme: Living with Fire. \nOur times of retreat will provide the opportunity to slow down\, to reconnect at a deeper level with our life and our work\, and to focus on listening as much as speaking. These retreats are an invitation to attend to the unfolding of our own identity and integrity\, and to how we might help each other to wholeheartedly embrace our own inner wisdom\, our communities and our callings. Alone and together we will engage in reflection and journaling\, time in nature\, silence and solitude\, and small and large group conversation. Clearness Committees will be offered at all three gatherings. \nFollowing winter we will return to enjoy the comfort and beauty of Kingfisher Bay in Spring and Fall\, embraced by tall pines\, peaceful waters and abundant wildlife. A three-season retreat offers a unique opportunity to reconnect deeply with ourselves and with one another as an ongoing Circle of Trust®. \nAdults of all ages\, stages and vocational paths welcome. \nEarly bird deadline: Jan 1\, 2025 \nRegistration deadline: Jan 24\, 2025 \nFacilitated by Past Moderator Mardi Tindal and Presbyterian Church USA retired minister Jean Richardson
