September 29-30: Zoom Retreat

“Celebrating Three Gifts of Autumn: Wonder, Letting Go, and Peace”

This retreat, sponsored by the Sophia Retreat Center in Atchison, KS, runs from Friday 6:30-8:00 PM (Central) to Saturday 9:30-11:30 AM (Central). Whether you love autumn or are saddened by its arrival, this short retreat is meant for you.

We will explore how autumn can lead us to deeper inner peace in a world often marked by unrest and adversity. The sessions will include input, scripture, music, videos, humor, and sharing. Cost is $50. (Scholarships are available). Check their website for more details: [email protected]

Give yourself the gift of this little zoom retreat. I hope to see some of you there!
