Please join your ESUC sisters at our annual Women’s Perspective Retreat April 24-26, once again at the beautiful Rainbow Lodge in North Bend. Registration opens March 1, 12:00 noon with Early Bird rates and ends April 12 at 11 pm. Scholarships are available by contacting Nicole Duff, ESUC membership director.
Set against the serene backdrop of the Rainbow Lodge in North Bend, our annual Women’s Perspective Retreat offers a sacred space for connection, growth, and renewal. This year’s theme, “Our Stories, Our Strength,” invites participants to explore the profound narrative of their own lives under the expert guidance of talented spiritual director Carol Scott-Kassner.
The retreat will begin with a morning program dedicated to deep reflection and communal sharing, focusing on the unique ways storytelling fosters resilience and empowerment among women. The journey will continue in the evening as Carol leads a special session titled “Becoming a Sage,” offering wisdom on navigating life’s transitions with grace and purpose. Whether you are looking for spiritual depth or a supportive community of women, this retreat provides the perfect environment to honor your past and embrace your future strength.
We invite all who identify as women, be they gay, straight, trans or questioning, to attend this retreat in a supportive, natural environment as we share, laugh and play together. Saturday afternoon activities will include hikes, art, and others to be planned. Our Volunteer Coordinator, Barbara Stevenson would love to hear from anyone willing to be an activity leader, at [email protected]. The Rainbow’s lodging and grounds are awesome; most dietary preferences can be met (fyi, neither beef nor pork will be served).
So, please join us as a “camper” or as a “day-tripper” to experience how the community we create together fuels our spirit. Please note that the Speaker requests EVERYONE to attend the Friday night session, including Day Trippers, which is included in the Day Tripper registration fee.
