Quaker Women's Retreat 2016
Please join us for the 2016 Quaker Women's Retreat
April 1-3, 2016
Highlands Presbyterian Camp and Retreat Center, Allenspark, CO
Theme for the weekend: Walking with The Other
Our world seems divided into Us and Them. How do we reject or welcome The Other in our personal lives, and as a society? In what ways are we ourselves the Other, and do we welcome or reject that part of ourselves? How can we walk with The Other?
More queries will be sent out in March before we gather. Please share any ideas you have for queries and activities around the theme.
