Labyrinth
Workshop of October 2, 2010
Using a labyrinth and "disabling props," we
explored what life may be like for individuals whom
we are caring for. We also addressed the challenges
we face as caregivers. It proved to be a very
moving experience for all!

Women's
Tent Experience
The Women's Tent Experience, presented by Janet
Bristow, co-founder of the prayer shawl ministry, was a wonderful afternoon
of thoughtful reflection, meditation, journaling and sharing based on the
book, The Red Tent. The women in attendance also had the
opportunity to do a couple of craft projects related to self reflection and
shared a soup lunch together. A relaxing, renewing experience was had
by all. (October 2009)
