Retreat Name:  Quilting by the River
Date Start: October 5 , 2007
Date End: October 8 , 2007
Description: “Piecin’ a quilt’s like livin’ a life…the Lord sends us the pieces, but we can cut  ‘em out and put ‘em together pretty much to suit ourselves, and there’s a heap more in the cuttin’ and sewin’ than there is in the caliker…”

Aunt Jane of Kentucky, 1898, Eliza C. Hall

Beginning, experienced, machine and hand-quilters are all welcome to a weekend of quilting, spiritual reflection and renewal – a time away from our busy lives where we can join a sewing circle and have time for personal reflection and prayer.  The weekend will be pieced together with sessions of foundation piecing, hand-quilting, appliqué, and spiritual reflection.  Experienced quilters are welcome to bring along a project in progress!

Presenter: Patty Curry
Suggested Fee:  $250.00

Retreat Name:  Spirituality for Women
Date Start: October 9 , 2007
Date End: November 20, 2007
Description: Acclaimed author, Sue Monk Kidd, in one of her early books, When the Heart Waits, invites us to ask some of life’s sacred questions.  Waiting and transformation are among the themes Kidd processes with her readers.  Come, be part of the circle of women as we read and share our own stories, laughter and wisdom together. Tuesday evenings, 7:00PM - 9:00PM
Presenter: Maureen Steeley, SU
Suggested Fee : $50.00 (plus cost of book)

Retreat Name: 

Professional Day for Spiritual Directors
Spiritual Direction for those in Recovery

Date Start: October 10 , 2007 10AM
Date End: October 10 , 2007 4PM
Description: More and more directees are in 12 Step Programs and also in spiritual direction.  This day workshop will illustrate the key issues of the spiritual direction relationship and the interface with the recovery process, i.e. surrender to God, process of forgiveness, spiritual practices, conversion and sin, etc.  The workshop will also help clarify the distinctions between spiritual direction and sponsorship, therapy, recovery meetings, etc.  Since spiritual directors also deal with directees who are active in their addiction, the issues which may arise for supervision will also be addressed.  The day will include presentations, quiet reflection time, and time for small group process.  Lunch is included.
Presenter: Don Bisson, FMS
Suggested Fee : $50.00

Retreat Name:  Abundant Life
Date Start: October 26, 2007
Date End: October 28, 2007
Description:

From his fullness, we have all received,
blessing upon blessing heaped upon us.
                 John 1:16

Our God is a God of abundance!  Indeed, the very word abundance, from the Latin, means overflowing, waves of the sea constantly flowing.  Put another way, God cannot love except abundantly.  Join us as we plumb the experiences of abundance in our own lives; and perhaps look at what might hinder us from loving more abundantly.  Be part of sharing our stories, our tears and our laughter together once more.

Presenter: Eleanora Murphy, SU
Maureen Steeley, SU
Suggested Fee:  $175
