PROGRAM INFORMATION:
Join women of the Pacific Northwest Conference at N-Sid-Sen for a weekend of faith, fellowship, learning & fun!

We are so excited to invite and welcome you to the 2025 Women’s Retreat. Our theme is, “The Relaxation Response: Resiliency in Troubling Times.”  We will be offering sessions incorporating the Stress Management and Resiliency Training (SMART) Handbook, published by Harvard Medical School. It will be an opportunity to self-reflect and plan small life changes that will benefit your health and well-being. We will be looking at various scriptures and spiritual practices that promote self-care and connection. We will also offer laughter yoga again this year which is suitable for all abilities. There will be crafting opportunities, and you are welcome to bring your own projects along. This will be a safe, welcoming space where we hope longtime connections will be made. We need each other in these tumultuous times.

Of course, you may use the time and space to engage in activities outside of our plan. There are trails to hike and explore and nature all around to enjoy. Register Now to save your space. We are looking forward to meeting you or seeing you again!

Come as you are. Participate as you feel called.

This gathering is expansive to include all women, cis and trans, as well as non-binary people comfortable in a space that centers on the experience of women.
