The Power of Story
This half-day retreat will be a journey into the stories, great and small, that have shaped our lives. We’ll also take a deep dive into a well-known story in holy scripture, one you may think you know. But with all great stories, there is always more to tell—so, bring your memories and let’s story together! In the morning, we will explore the power of stories. Then we will have lunch together and then enjoy a performance by Sam during the afternoon session.
Please note: In March we were forced to reschedule due to inclement weather. If you registered in March, you do not need to register again; your registration and lunch order is still in tact.
Please invite your friends to register now as well. We have opened up 20 more seats.
Please watch for emails from the Threshold Center Administrator.
