‘For Women Only’
A Retreat for Women in Leadership
How does one find strength for the journey while traveling through natural or unwelcome transitions?
How can we transform these times into experiences of learning “truth and wisdom in the inmost places”? (Psalm 51)
The Cottage provides a nurturing, safe haven for women to look in depth at their spiritual, emotional and physical health, creating change toward increasing joy and peace.
‘For Women Only’ is a one-week, one woman at a time, private retreat for the renovation of the heart, mind and soul under the direction of Francoise Becker.
