Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. ― Albert Camus

Thanks for a great Silent Auction!

Picture

Pathways Retreat’s fourth annual silent auction fundraiser was a success thanks to our generous supporters.  A big thank you to all who participated by donating items, bidding, and telling others about this event.  We’re already looking forward to next year’s auction and we hope you all will join us again in supporting Pathways’ mission of providing a place for Rest, Reflection, and Renewal.

Upcoming Events:

Series 2 registration is open

As we enter the depths of Autumn, each class in series 2 will begin with inspiration from a Christian saint and a time of "harvesting," which will help us gather the meaningful things that are fueling our practice as we step onto our mats.

Men, what kind of man do you want to be and how can you live a life that matters?  In this half day retreat, we will:

  •  examine the scripts we've been given;
  •  explore differing expressions of masculinity;
  •  reconsider our purpose and aims in life.

This retreat draws from Living That Matters: Honest Conversations for Men of Faith (Herald Press, 2023), which each participant will receive.

Saturday, December 9, 8 am - noon (begins with a light breakfast)
Suggested donation: $30-50 (includes the book Living That Matters)
Facilitator: Steve Thomas
Space is limited to 12 participants

"Very good workshop - timely topic, well thought out."  

"Thank you for the chance to gather, to share and hear each other; to know that others think about these things too."
