Self-Care (Part I):
An Act of Love & Renewal
This is the same retreat that was offered in February 2021. Whether you are interested in attending this retreat again or participating for the first time, all are welcome. We hope to offer Self-Care (Part II) for everyone in fall 2022.
"The first is...you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.' The second is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." (Mark 12:29-31)
Self-care is an act of love, a way of entering into the invitation to love, not only God and others, but also ourselves. It is a way of living as the Beloved and tenderly receiving the renewal needed in order to continue serving others and the world.
​
After a long and challenging season, including global, communal, and individual stress and heartache, we may find ourselves tired and weary in the midst of it all. Therefore, it is as important as ever to care for ourselves.
​
Take heart, self-care does not need to be heroic or demanding, but can be gently experienced through our simple, daily human needs and rhythms. Join us as we reflect on three areas of life that can be received as opportunities for restorative and compassionate self-care and renewing God's love and life within.
