Finding God as Companion in Navigating Life’s Final Journey
Saturday, September 23, 2023
9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.
Patricia O’Connor
This day of retreat will be a safe harbor to begin or continue to think about the final journey of our lives and those of others whom we love and care for. It will cover conversations, choices and resources which are helpful during this part of life’s journey. We will also consider how we might be able to hear the gentle nudges of spirit through this time of life.
The retreat will be based, in part, on Pat’s book, Navigating Life’s Final Journey: Conversations, Choices, Resources. This book was written to educate and empower people to take control of the final phase of their life, which is often spent lost in a medical maze.
Offering: $75, includes lunch
