God is always with us, and may you choose to BE more than DO in this time of renewal before we step back out into the world again.

This retreat is free for all caregivers.

We recognize that caregivers have little time for themselves and have a unique need for their own community, self-care, rest, and respite so they can continue to offer love and care for those in need. This retreat is a gift to you. Caregivers of loved ones of clients with cancer, dementia, terminal illness, or chronic conditions are invited to spend some intentional time being refilled and recharged by participating in a restorative and life-care, self-care retreat.
