1. Managing Stress and
Letting Go into Hope
To all who deal with stress – come apart for a timely look at the physical,
mental, behavioral, emotional and spiritual effects on you while coping
with stress in today’s world. How can we not only cope, but thrive and grow in
the challenges we meet in our daily life? With uncertain futures, how can we
live in hope and trust? How can each of us be a stabilizing presence in an
unstable world? God is ever present. Let us join together in God’s love as we
seek and discern answers to these heartfelt questions. Our day together will be
a blend of learning, self-reflection, laughing, relaxation, and a time for retreat
into solitude and silence for our renewal.
