Location: Linda and Toni's home
Facilitators: Sabiha Sorgun, Terri Mann Lamb, Mary Von Zellen, Toni Tollerud, & Rev. Linda Slabon

Program Description: Our 2010 retreat nurtures our need to hear our inner voice through art, music, self-care, and tarot or animal totem readings. We will use the Deepening Group process, shallow and deep check-in, and a Giveaway Ritual to create intimacy, listen well, share our selves, and be fully present. This year we are preserving ample time for an art project or personal writing. While materials will be provided for an art project, you are welcome to bring a project you are already working on. We can guarantee singing, abundant food, laughter, and spirited women!

Cost: $35 per person. Fee covers supplies, scholarships and meals. Partial scholarships available. See Rev. Linda to request a scholarship.
