SUMMARY:Release\, Restore\, Reclaim
DESCRIPTION:A retreat on letting go\, healing and finding your way through God  \n“Come to me\, all you who are weary and burdened\, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28).  \nAs we progress through adulthood\, life has a way of feeling overwhelming and messy: career and family pressures\, relationships breaking down\, stress pulling us in every direction\, grief\, and decisions we might have made that hurt others and ourselves. These experiences are common in most of our lives but often go unaddressed and can continue to wound us. Left unaddressed\, this can prevent us from deepening our relationship with God and finding peace in our lives.   \nIf you’ve been questioning:  \n\nWhy life feels harder than you expected \n\n\nWhy you can’t figure things out on your own \n\n\nHow to prevent your past from hurting your future \n\n\nWhere God is in the mess\, and how grace can help heal you \n\n\nWill healing bring you closer to God\, and help you flourish… \n\nThis retreat is for you.  \nRelease\, Restore & Reclaim is a multi-day facilitated journey guided by a structured 12-step process\, where you will:   \n\nRelease the weight you’ve been carrying – naming it honestly and learning how to put it down.  \n\n\nRestore your understanding of who God is and the part his presence can play amongst life’s mess.  \n\n\nReclaim a life shaped by that healing\, not by your past — with clear decisions to guide your future. \n\nWhat you’ll come away with:  \n\nClarity on your personal pressures and pain\, named and brought into the light \n\n\nA proven\, repeatable 12-step process for letting go of what you’ve been carrying \n\n\nPractical centring prayer\, to release into the Trinity’s healing presence \n\n\nAn understanding of God as healer\, not punisher \n\n\nRenewed\, hope-filled meaning and purpose \n\n\n1–2 concrete decisions to carry home\, so this becomes a real turning point \n\n\nNew connections with others reclaiming their own way back to God \n\nYour facilitator:  \nBr (Dr) Barry Donaghue cfc has studied and taught in 13 countries around the world and has completed degrees in arts\, teaching\, education\, adult religious education\, theology and group dynamics. He was Director of Prairiewood’s Eco Spirituality Centre and Providence Spirituality Centre in the US. He is an experienced retreat facilitator and a qualified spiritual director and labyrinth presenter.  \nThis retreat is perfect for:  \nAnyone ready to stop carrying life’s weight alone\, heal from the past and reclaim their future in faith.
