For the past decade, The “Finding Work Without Losing Heart” Retreat has helped of people find the purpose, encouragement and hope they need to persevere in their search for meaningful work - perhaps more acute and necessary in the current economic environment.  This retreat welcomes people of all ages, work experience and faith traditions. It strives to help participants grasp the effects and impact central to transition so they can better navigate change, from ending to a new beginning. Content touches on the personal, emotional, and even the spiritual invitation of change, growth, and regeneration. Participants may find that understanding the way of transition helps them gain perspective and resolve that helps them engage better in their job search with hope and greater confidence in a positive outcome.

This retreat will be held by zoom.
