Take a day to refresh and restore your soul, mind, and body. Sr. Linda Zahner will lead a guided meditation drawing upon the wisdom of St. Hildegard of Bingen to start the day, and then you can choose from one of three options— reflexology, contemplative healing touch, or spiritual direction—to add to your time. You will also have ample opportunity to visit the chapel, walk the grounds, or relax at Sophia Center—whatever nourishes your health and well-being.

*Cost also includes lunch. Registration is limited to 3.

If you have a group of three friends who would like to schedule your own day, contact S. Linda directly at 913.426.3363 to arrange a date.

Please register by December 4.
