Our next retreat will be on Saturday, April 26, 2025. We will be holding it at the Warren Tavern, which is a historic home located along the river in Warrenville. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a3768335e6d45432425abd/02686d57-19ba-4299-bbf9-17f2fdf1cb24/mauro-lima-_qnkSOhwt80-unsplash.jpg Retreat + Cohorts - Cohorts Refuge for Strength cohorts run for nine months. Most of our cohorts are in-person, but we also offer an online cohort for those who live in other parts of the country. These monthly groups are intimate, allowing for deep conversation and opportunities to pray together and hear from God together. This year we are studying Women of the New Testament and learning a spiritual practice together each month. These include: spiritual friendship, silence and solitude, imaginative prayer, lectio divina, lament, gratitude, examen, and rule of life. The cost for the year is $40, which you can pay online under Make a Gift. If you're interested in joining an in-person cohort, email Joyce at joycekoo@gmail.com. If you're interested in joining an online cohort, email Kelly at randy.kelly.vaughn@gmail.com https://www.refugeforstrength.com/home daily 1.0 2024-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a3768335e6d45432425abd/877ea502-a267-4db8-98d1-0d7baff663f3/R4S-Fall-Worship-Gathering.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a3768335e6d45432425abd/90f3c6b9-c241-4a8c-82e4-c14d96164c44/1.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a3768335e6d45432425abd/4dfb7745-3a59-4572-b345-8bcb60926615/2.jpg https://www.refugeforstrength.com/about daily 0.75 2025-01-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a3768335e6d45432425abd/94e23053-6378-4f8d-9e7b-7e98bbf24ad0/priscilla-du-preez-8xFOE4kiyys-unsplash.jpg About - Why now? Have you ever desired greater healing and wholeness in your life and wanted to be better equipped to bring health and flourishing to spiritual spaces? Refuge for Strength was born out of the hearts of several women seeking God’s direction in the aftermath of church-related wounds. Although we are convinced that women will play a crucial role in bringing God’s healing to His people, we also recognize that a deeper understanding of ourselves and Jesus will enable us to be bold bearers of light and truth wherever we serve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a3768335e6d45432425abd/756ca891-2b02-4358-8a95-03cba3b95008/dario-valenzuela-PAGBeJrLiDA-unsplash.jpg About - Why you? Most of us have access to strong, biblical teaching, but too few of us truly know how to daily live in God’s presence and power—to let that inward filling move us into outward serving. Is God inviting you to tend to your soul and hear the whisper of His great love for you? Come seek God with other women whose desire for understanding and growth is similar to yours. Let the grounding of spiritual practices, the silence of reflection, and the bond of spiritual friendship refresh your soul. https://www.refugeforstrength.com/make-a-gift daily 0.75 2023-12-21
