April 24-26, 2017: Exploring Transitions Retreat: “Life’s Detours & Road Blocks”

April 24-26, 2017

Led by Tammy Devine & Tom Morgan, with worship/music by Michael Larson

A new retreat that is part of the “Exploring Transitions: Discover Your Life’s Calling” new series of four retreats, but each workshop stands alone, you can join at any time.

Detour Ahead… Road Closed!  Throughout life’s journey, we encounter unexpected turns in direction: illness, loss of loved ones, change of work and opportunity. A loss of direction can be disorienting. Together, we will explore this time of transition.
