SUMMARY:The W.H.O. and H.O.W. of Spiritual Recovery

SUMMARY:Holiday Candlelight Labyrinth

Come to The Retreat House on Saturday\, December 14 and enjoy a cup of hot cider as you learn how to draw a labyrinth and find out more about its history and traditions. At dusk\, we will walk the candlelit labyrinth\, and pray for peace in our world. \nA suggested donation of $20 will be gratefully accepted (just a guideline – all are welcome regardless of finances.) Please wear warm clothing and shoes appropriate for walking on a grassy surface. \nPlease register online or send an email to info@retreathousehillsboro.org. \n
