Who you can become when life doesn’t go as planned

4–8 March 2024 (Mon–Fri)

When life takes one too many unexpected turns, do you find yourself saying, “I don’t know who I am anymore” or wonder if you’ll ever have a sense of purpose again? If so, you’re not alone. But what if losing an identity is an opportunity to discover who you really are? What if the adversity you face could release your greatest gifts into the world? What if life going wrong could be the making of you? Through story, scripture and reflective exercises, this retreat will help you discover who you can become when life doesn’t go as planned.
