You’re Not Crazy; You’re Just Grieving
A Day of Reflection for Adults
November 6, 2023
9:00 am to 3:00 pm
Retreat Leader:
Amy Florian
We live in a society that doesn’t talk about grief, death, pain, and loss. Yet we face them every day in ways big and small. Losses have been exacerbated due to all we’ve gone through in the past few years. Would you like to understand your emotional responses in loss and grief and learn how to heal?
Come for an informative, inspirational, and faith-filled experience. Walk away with the assurance that your experience is normal, you are not alone, and you cannot only heal but go forward as a better and more whole person because of it.
Program Cost: $70.00 (includes Lunch)

We often take our God-given talents for granted - or we may not even be aware of them. By completing a research-based online assessment prior to the retreat, you will discover your greatest talents. Then during our day together, you will grow in appreciation for your unique talents and discover how to intentionally leverage them to express and live in daily gratitude.
