Women’s Christmas

The Feast of the Epiphany is also celebrated as Women’s Christmas – a day of rest for women after weeks of preparing for the holidays. Inspired by Jan Richardson’s annual Women’s Christmas Retreat, we have created a celebration just for you.

A retreat day like this is good for your soul! We invite you to please make time for yourself to refresh your spirit, and rest in the company of other women. Feel free to bring your needlework, sketchbook, journal, or any simple project that makes you happy. There will be poetry, prayer, and quiet walks on the grounds to inspire a sense of peace and comfort. Together we will explore ways to nurture and honor ourselves more often, to create “Sabbath moments” in our daily lives.

The retreat will be led by Suzanne Foehl and Meg Gallagher. A simple breakfast and lunch will be included. (We are particularly excited about lunch–it’s a special surprise.) This gathering will take place inside the Retreat House and on the grounds, practicing Covid-safe protocols. For this event, we ask that participants be fully vaccinated. Masks are optional. A suggested donation of $40 would be gratefully accepted, but please don’t let finances keep you from attending. All are welcome!
