Seasons of Wisdom Women’s Retreat
RETREAT DATES: NOVEMBER 7-9, 2025
We invite you to this Fall women’s retreat to reflect on the season of life you’re experiencing, as well as the wisdom of seasons passed. We will explore themes from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven…) Life contains rhythms of taking in and letting go, death and new life, weeping and laughing, mourning and dancing. And God accompanies us through it all- leading us through transformation and growth. And so our wisdom grows and takes on new shape in our minds, bodies and souls.
Rev. Keri Olsen Paget, Tania Batson and Sue Conklin, LCSW will be leading the retreat on the campus of Brave Grace in Silverado Canyon. We will offer opportunities to help us slow down and connect to the wisdom of God within us and around us. Part of the experience will be with horses- animals who live influenced by the seasons of the year and life. No experience with horses required, and riding will not be expected.
The retreat can accommodate up to 12 participants.
