Compassion as a Way of Life
September 13 @ 7:00 pm – September 14 @ 3:00 pm CDT
$175
This retreat will be an opportunity to foster compassion toward others, the world, and ourselves. We will explore compassion as a tender yet powerful inner capacity that helps encourage well-being and overcome divisions. We will develop insights, learn practical skills, and grow in trust as we discern unique ways to cultivate compassion in our lives and communities.
An evening social will be held on Friday from 6:00-7:00 p.m. Please plan to join and meet your fellow retreatants.
Please register by September 6.
After we receive your registration, you can expect to receive a confirmation email from us which will include your invoice. We never want our retreat costs to be prohibitive to anyone who wants to attend our programs and so we offer scholarships. Fill out our simple scholarship request form now!
