Details of this retreat
Each of us carries a story about forgiveness—times we’ve given it, withheld it, or longed to receive it. Sometimes, letting go of hurt feels impossible until we hear how someone else found their way through.
Join us for a day of reflection, connection, and renewal in a warm, confidential setting where we’ll listen, share, and explore what it truly means to release resentments and regrets. Together, we’ll discover how forgiveness is not about winning or losing, but about freeing ourselves to live more fully.
Experience the healing power of storytelling—it’s inspiring, often surprising, and even joyful.
Saturday, July 11, 9 a.m.–5 p.m.
Lunch will be provided.

Sarah’s Advent zoom retreat
It was very effective. The book, speaker and activities brought me to contemplate and connect with God’s voice throughout the Advent season. I look forward to the Lenten journey being offered. Thank you

Transition to renewal
Spending the New Year’s Holiday at the Genesis Spiritual Life Center was the perfect way to usher in a new year. Time to rest, relax, pray, and write and to do it with those of similar wants, was absolutely wonderful. It will be hard not to do it again next year.

A Simply Centered Advent: Mandalas, Crayoning and Prayers
I found this program very special. I didn't know what to expect but found the whole hour and the crayoning in particular very quieting and peaceful. Focusing on the crayoning with the background music allowed me to focus completely on what I was doing.
The presenter had such a calming way of offering the material and added interesting pieces of art that illustrated the mandalas we were working on.
I hope you will consider bringing Sharon back next Advent
