Sign ups for the 2024 IUCC Women’s Retreat at Pilgrim Pines begin Sunday, March 24, and continue through April 12, on the IUCC patio between services. Spaces are limited so early registration is recommended.
The Rev. Terry LePage will guide the weekend with the theme “Living as if Earth matters” in three sessions: Nurturing Deep Roots (what sustains us), Courageous Composting (facing and transforming the hard stuff, including grief at the state of the world) and Planting Seeds (faith-based action.)
The retreat will be the first weekend in May, May 3-5. The cost is $170 and includes two nights of comfortable beds, five meals, snacks and Sunday morning worship.
In addition to the weekend’s three themed workshops, participants will be able to choose among additional workshops, discussion groups, nature hikes and crafts. There’s also plenty to time for fellowship with IUCC members and friends.
More information is available by contacting members of the retreat committee: Laura Long, Lorraine Fox, Jerri Davenport, Pat Sauter, Marilyn Smith and Cindy O’Dell.
