Refresh Weekend
This is a two evening, one full day retreat that we use as a part of our Newcomers Class. During the retreat, participants learn how to share their stories in a small group setting and teaches those who listen how to listen actively, reflecting back to the person who shares his or her story in a way that is often very helpful to that person. There’s few things more powerful than being listened to and knowing it. The retreat also provides some coaching to participants in exploring the contemplative dimension of Jesus brand spirituality.
