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

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

True to Myself … While everything seems to be changing within and around us, we seek to determine our true nature. In this retreat, we will explore our whole, unbroken selves amidst our life stories, which we offer up freely and joyfully to the world!

Other upcoming Exploring Transitions retreats:

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