2023 Women’s Retreat

September 22, 2023 - September 24, 2023

The last few years brought world-altering changes to our communal and personal spiritual lives.

  • Anchors we came to depend upon disbanded and community connections were lost.
  • Under stress, many of us reached for unhealthy and excessive self-comforts, while spiritual practices fell away.
  • Even with more time on our hands and fewer commitments, some of us slipped into a spiritual malaise.

Though life has mostly returned to normal, many are left with a feeling of weariness and spiritual dryness. We’re tired of old practices but unsure of what to put in their place. We feel a need to rebuild.

We need time and space to reflect, to confess, to be in the company of others who are rebuilding, and to work on our spiritual foundation–the former things, the current things, and the not-yet-come.

Restoring the Foundations

A spiritual retreat for women of the Pacific Northwest Conference

Together we’ll worship, fellowship, learn in small groups, and spend moments of quiet reflection.
