A Women's Retreat
June 28 - June 30
Deep within each of us is a hunger for more fulfillment, more power and more control. At the depth of this insatiable hunger is the desire for connection and union with God; it can also manifest itself as a desire to be more perfectly yourself because every step toward a better version of yourself is a step toward God. We will explore the five lessons of becoming your perfect self. Beverly Collin will lead this retreat; she was the assistant director at Cedarbrake for 18 years. Costs: $295 for a private room, $255 per person and $150 for commuters.
