Join us on Saturday, February 22nd, and learn how to create space for rest in your life. Led by the inspiring keynote speaker Erin Jean Warde, an Episcopal priest and certified Brené Brown facilitator, alongside Reverend Stacey Carpenter from Saint James, this retreat offers a unique opportunity to explore the vital role of restorative rest in a world that often glamorizes busyness.
This retreat is an opportunity to reconnect with yourself, your relationship with the divine and the world around you. Through engaging discussions and meaningful practices, we’ll tackle the challenges of making room for restorative rest in our fast-paced lives. You’ll leave feeling refreshed, with a renewed sense of joy and equipped with the tools to prioritize this spiritual gift in your daily routine.
The retreat will include followup opportunities that will include time for community building and sharing about building practices of rest.
Thank you to our sponsors!
