Girls Gathering Retreat (this was held in 2009)
Open only to girls ages 12-18 ....sorry guys! :)
This retreat allows young women to come to LTS for a weekend to explore spiritual practices and form new relationships. Yoga and labyrinth walks, knitting and poetry, and exploring the bible through a variety of artistic mediums are all a part of this fun and faith-filled weekend for girls.
2009's retreat also emphasized wholeness in our lives including self-esteem, healthy sexuality and how these relate to our spiritual life & practice. Different practices explored included:
- Lectio Divina: A devotional practice that involves meditating on scripture, and finding how God's words can speak to us now.
- Meditative Writing/Journaling: Writing or journaling as a spiritual practice can open the eyes of our hearts as we reflect on events, situations, actions and reactions. It has become a very popular practice in recent years.
- Yoga: An experience designed to aid in meditation and prayer. It also reduces stress and helps build a sense of well-being.
- Yarn and fabric art: Knitting, creating, looming and weaving - each is an expression of the creativity God has given us, so this is our opportunity to celebrate these gifts! Such practices can also be very relaxing and meditative.
- Painting: Art is another way to celebrate the creative gifts God has given us.
- Pottery: Another form of art that is meditative and fun!
- Spiritual Readings: Together, we will look at spiritual writings by several people, including Brother Lawrence, Anna Quindlan, Evelyn Underhill and Kent Groff.
