Retreats

Diocese of Charleston, Oakland, and the Mid-Atlantic

Home Is A Holy Place -- Learn to recognize holiness all around you as we take a tour through each room of your home and garden. Discover how we worship God through our normal daily routines. Understand the principles of love in all stages of your life. Find joy in humble service and live in modesty and purity. All this is revealed in the everyday reality in our home. This sacramental view of how we meet God in our most commonplace actions and places will forever transform your experience of how lovingly God awaits to commune with us in the midst of our homes and gardens.

We will also have two fun hands-on workshops on:

The Biblical Healing Garden -- Master Gardener Khouriya Maggie will present a unique workshop that will help you design, create and maintain horticultural activities for indoor and outdoor gardens to promote personal healing. Explore the Biblical and ancient uses for plants and herbs and how to incorporate some of these practices into your daily life for overall wellness. Maggie specializes in rainforest, jungle and under-ocean vegetation and has taught at the Bahamian Field Station on San Salvador Island. Member of the American Horticultural Therapy Association.

Handwriting: A Transformational Tool -- Learn how the mind and handwriting work together to reveal who you truly are, and how you can easily transform fears, anxieties, and destructive patterns by making a few simple changes in how you write. Graphotherapy is the scientific process of discerning character and personality traits and learning to make sustainable changes in your life to accomplish your goals. This is a fun, interactive workshop that will include private handwriting exercises. You won’t write the same again after this workshop!
