Join us for conversation and connection around the transitions inherent as we age. For those in the 60+ community, this one is for you!
April’s retreat will focus on flourishing as we age - for our whole bodies! Specifically exploring physical, mental, and emotional health, while immersed in the invitation to spiritual health. We will also address preparing for the effects of aging - for ourselves and as we care for loved ones. See below for details!
