UUWomenspirit Spring Retreat

UUWomenspirit Spring Retreat

May 16-20, 2018

  

UUWomenspirit is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization that has hosted all-women retreats since 1987. Our retreats emphasize and celebrate the Divine Feminine in her many forms.  The next retreat will be held on May 16-20, 2018 at  The Mountain Retreat and Learning Center in Highlands, NC. 

The theme for our spring event is Inviting the Sacred Into Our Lives.  During the event, we will explore the many wondrous yet simple ways we can bring the sacred into our lives every day.  Daily offerings include workshops, activities and worship services with a group of amazing women.  The venue for the event, The Mountain Retreat and Learning Center,  is nestled deep in the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Highlands, NC.  In this beautiful setting, the surrounding views of nature will connect you to the sacred on a whole new level.

The brochure with detailed information about the workshops and other offerings will be available in late February or early March 2018 on our website, www.uuwomenspirit.org, and registration for the retreat will begin in mid-March.  For more information about UUWomenspirit and our upcoming and past events, please visit our website.
