Refuge, seclusion, privacy, spiritual meditation…ahhh….deep cleansing breath…no cooking, long walks in the woods, fun with just the girls…uninterrupted time, insightful teaching, discovering the next step…
If any of this resonates with your soul, consider attending our first women’s retreat, Terra Nova style. We have secured space in the serene Christ the King’s Spiritual Life Center in Greenwich, NY (near Saratoga) for a 24 hour getaway. This place has been described by retreat-goers as “hallowed ground.†They exist to provide a peaceful, carefree and beautiful environment for people just like us and they do an amazing job.
The focus of the retreat is praying through your purpose. No matter where we are in terms of career, family, and our development as a person and Christ-follower, we all face the challenges of finding balance, wellbeing and fulfillment. Jean Fast, a certified Life Coach, will guide us through a Life Design Workshop in which we will begin the process of assessing those areas in life that create or diminish avenues of wholeness.
We will have blocks of time for prayer, quiet reflection, and communion with God. We will also have girl time – time to get to know and be known by other women in the Terra community. There will be opportunities for artistic and physical expression. And yes, we’ll throw in a little pampering too!
Come with an eager heart and be ready to experience more of God’s masterpiece in process.
Hi, can I please sign up for the retreat? It sounds very exciting! Thanks!
Those pictures Poiema has been posting lately are hilarious, thinking back on “When women read, watch out”. Sounds like a great time. I want to encourage our chicas NOT to feel guilty about going as I have already caught myself doing. Hope to see you all then!
Jing Liu, I’m so glad you want to come to the retreat! A sign-up sheet will be in the lobby for the next several Sundays, so just sign up and we will provide more details as needed.
Nicole, I concur with you – don’t feel guilty! It’s only 24 hours intentionally so we aren’t away from everyone and everything else for too long. This is going to bless your family because it will refresh you, relax you, encourage you, and grow you as a person.
I want to mention that nursing mothers and their babies are welcome, so please consider joining us if that’s you. You will be extremely comfortable and well cared for:)
Time for prayer, quiet reflection and communion with God. I will be there. I invited my daughter to come.
What are the times of departure on Fri. and Sat.? Just trying to firm up when Rob needs to be home…
We can arrive at the retreat center for registration beginning at 5 pm on Friday and we wrap up the retreat at 4 pm on Saturday. Go to their website for directions and lots of other info…
