This engaging weekend retreat was offered at the 19th Annual Images of Spirituality Ecumenical Women’s Retreat in April 2008 in Calgary AB, along with The Rev. Jean Morris, who provided intriguing biblical reflections on each theme. Sarah also offered it for the Anglican Diocesan Women’s Retreat in October 2008. It can be adjusted to a Friday evening-all day Saturday retreat for a parish, or it can be offered in a more relaxed style as a Friday evening-Sunday morning retreat at a retreat centre.

Responses from April 2008 retreat participants, Calgary AB:

“A very appropriate there. Jean was a true blessing this weekend. She shares the Word with true passion. Sarah’s presentation was beautifully organized and very powerful. She is a very gifted facilitator. Handouts were most helpful.”

“Thank you, Sarah, for your wonderful honesty. Thank you, Jean, for your amazing analysis and dignity. Thanks both for your humour.”
