Hills of Peace Women’s Retreat

Dates: June 19 - 21
Location: Hills of Peace - Hwy 600, Capt Ayre Lake, AB
Theme: Summer Solstice: Where Spirit and Soul Meet

Join us as we celebrate the Summer Solstice and welcome the longest day of the year together.

As we move from spring to summer, we will explore the seasons and cycles of Soul and Spirit which are often used interchangeably in our modern lives but are actually unique ways of describing different aspects of our human experience and how it connects with the depth and breadth of God’s love. Our souls nurture our very beings like seeds cocooned in the dark earth until they are ready to sprout. Our spirits soar to the heights of the mountains and beyond as we experience the inspiration of God’s spirit meeting our own divine spark.

During this Solstice weekend we will explore the movement of Soul and Spirit through meaningful conversations, spiritual practices, poetry, nature walks, delicious food and creative activities. We will keep coming back to the question, how do Soul and Spirit work within each one of us?

Registration Fee: $175
Registration Deadline: Monday, June 8
