Led by:  Sr. Miriam James Heidland, SOLT

 Advent is a special time of preparation for the coming of Jesus Christ. It is a time when we journey with Mary as she prepares to give birth to the Light and Hope of the world. Many times as women we feel tired and anxious about life. We struggle with past wounds and present difficulties. This retreat will bring mothers and daughters on a deeper journey of healing and freedom within their own hearts and with one another. We will talk about our foundation as daughters of God, the brokenness we face as we travel through life and the real hope and restoration that Jesus brings to us. God desires to heal us, restore our beauty and set us free to love. 

Recommended for mother and daughters aged 13+.
