Courage And Renewal
Retreat

April 5—7, 2019

Claggett Retreat Center, Buckeystown, Maryland

Unearthing and Telling our Stories

A watercolor painting of an Alpine meadow surrounded by tall pines with a blue creek running through. A strong contemporary woman dressed in jeans and tank top is digging while standing in the center of the creek. Her shovel is filled with a mound of shining gold which she is moving toward a wooden treasure chest resting on the banks surrounded by gold.

Our ability to tell our own story is important to our inner health. By considering our own biography we come to understand the important moments in our life more fully. And by unearthing our story, even those memories buried deep within us, we may find the treasure of true self-awareness.

Begins 5pm on Friday and ends with lunch on Sunday.
