PreConference Retreat
“The secret to a joyful life isn’t in
what happens to you
but with what you do
as a result of
what happens to you.”
The one-day Joy of Forgiveness Retreat will be held from 8:00 am – 4:30 pm on March 14, the day before the 3-day Care Conference.
Somebody hurt you and you cannot forget it. You did not deserve the hurt and it went deep enough to lodge itself in your memory. Most of us find that the pains of our past keep rolling through our memories and resurface from time to time.
Grudges, resentments, self-defeating habits, and negative feelings are barriers to a healthy, productive life. Come explore a comfortable, safe, and trusting atmosphere during this retreat. Here you will journey through the stages of forgiveness to personal empowerment. Forgiving is the only way to stop the pain and bring hope to the future.
- Learn strategies for your personal and professional life to avoid or resolve hurtful situations.
- Experience the six stages leading to complete forgiveness.
- Make peace with your past so you can go on with your life.
