Healing comes as we live with integrity, opening to the person God calls us to be. We’ll draw on Philippians 4:4-9 as our guide to consider tools of healing-living in gratitude, letting go of worry, the necessity for forgiveness, living gently in compassion, respect, and tolerance; and focusing on what is honorable and just. This contemplative retreat day offers discussion, prayer practices, community, and space for personal reflection.
