How is the second half of life different from the first? Who does God want me to be in this part of my life? What’s important, and not so? How can I live my life in God’s way? What can I hold onto and let go of? How do I accept, bless and integrate my past as I move into the future? Big questions. Come be with others on the same path. Donation: $200/$75 non-refundable deposit with registration. Commuters are welcome, meals and workbook included.

During this weekend retreat, we will continue our study of 9 different personality types and the path to holiness and interior freedom for each. We are all afflicted and blessed by this human condition of ours. God knows what each of us needs and guides us each along a way to wholeness and holiness that is unique, yet universal. The main goal of the weekend is to grow in understanding, acceptance and compassion for ourselves and others. We all need that. Donation: $200/$75 non-refundable deposit. Residents and commuters are welcome. All meals and materials provided. Led by S. Marcy.
