about this retreat
Part of the human condition is the reality of loss—through death, loss of livelihood, terminated communication with loved ones, moving to a new location, closing a place of worship, or experiencing disabling health issues, to name but a few.
This retreat will focus on loss from a Christian perspective with reflection on personal experiences of grief and loss, living with loss, and responding to people who are bereaved.
It will offer time for teaching, for quiet reflection, for sharing, and for growing from loss.
