DEADLINE TO REGISTER IS OCTOBER 19
SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE
First Congregational Church of Long Beach is hosting a Women’s Retreat this fall at Pilgrim Pines and would like to extend an invitation to anyone who would like to attend. This year’s theme, Rest Is Resistance — inspired by the work of Tricia Hersey — invites us to slow down and truly rest as we reconnect with nature, with one another, and with ourselves. Together, we’ll engage Hersey’s insights and explore how holy rest helps us reject the demands of hustle culture, renew our inner connection to the Divine, and discover sustainable rhythms we can carry with us when we return home.
Additional activities include:
- spiritual practices
- artistic exploration
- nature walks
- gentle yoga (all levels welcome)
- time for conversation, laughter and quiet
You can attend for the whole weekend or Saturday only. Scholarships are available.
