“Grace and Friends” Retreat in Florida still on …
My wife, Grace, is teaming up with some good friends to offer a special weekend for women (from any background). Because of Hurricane Irma, they've changed the venue and reduced the price. Whatever your background (religious, spiritual but not religious, etc.), Grace and friends have planned a beautiful weekend of rest, learning, and relationships. You'll learn a new way of listening to your heart & your stories, so you can experience empathy and courage during changing times ... in the company of some amazing women like you.
October 26 - 29, 2017. Marco Island, Florida
Spouses, family members, and friends: this could be a great gift to a woman you love!
