SCHEDULED RETREATS

Labor Day, 2008 August 29-Sept 1: Traditional Peach Weekend

You (and your family) are invited to join us for an end of summer festival. We'll celebrate the sweetness of the earth and enjoy local peaches and other fruits. Along with other relaxing activities, we'll work together to preseve peaches by canning, freezing and making peach jam. A great time to practice (or learn) skills your grandmother had.

Third Metanoia Weekend: September 5-7

This is the third of the four scheduled Metanoia Weekends for Grail Members and Members of Grail Groups. Sorry, the enrollment is closed for this event, since it is one of a series.

Wellness Weekend: October 3-5

This is another of our famous Wellness Weekends, but with a whole new set of exciting features. It's being planned by a committee of women in the Cornwall area, who are bringing in new leaders and workshops to increase your spiritual, physical, emotional and even financial wellness! An additional special feature will be a Saturday only option. Cornwall-Newburgh locals are invited to take advantage of this day-long possibility.
