Event description

Our emotions get wounded when we get hurt. Neither repression nor catharsis (letting it all out) heal emotions rooted in hurts. 

This retreat will deal with the dynamics and healing of anger, fear, guilt, shame and grief so they become drives for new life rather than emotions we wish would disappear. Each session will end with group prayer or an exercise for healing an emotion. As the emotions are allowed to be felt and loved, they serve us rather than continuing as compulsive enemies. They become drives to give and receive life rather than drives further wounding us and others. As the emotions heal, we discover new gifts for relating to God, community & others.

This is a 2-day event. Friday 7:00pm - 9:00pm and Saturday 9:00am - 2:30pm. Lunch is included on Saturday.

*Please note that due to materials, presenters' time, and programing logistics we will not offer refunds 72 hours before the event
