Lent Retreat at Camp Henry: The Daring Way
- What is your faith asking of you now?
- What would it look like if you felt more connected to the wonderful people at Westminster?
- What is our growing edge as a congregation?
Let’s gather together in a cozy setting, around the fireplace, with good food and even better conversation. This is a time to lean into the strong feeling of belonging we’ve created in our community and a time to connect while exploring The Daring Way of strengthening our trust, faith, and courage.
The Daring Way is an empirically-based training program from the research of Brené Brown. We have invited certified Daring Way Facilitators, Pam Coffey and Westminster member, Heather Lermont-Pape, to lead us in a journey of courage building through uncovering our vulnerability, exploring our values, and building trust. You will have the opportunity to increase self-awareness, expand and shift personal perspectives, and share stories around a fireplace in the comfort and hospitality of Camp Henry.
You are invited to develop understanding in the following areas:
- What it means to be vulnerable and how it benefits you and our community;
- How to be brave in your life, your faith, and your church;
- How to develop empathy and compassion for yourself and others;
- What it means to step into your personal arena and ponder who is sitting in your box seats, the cheap seats, and your cheering section?
We will explore these topics through a variety of activities including: talking, listening, writing, creating and playing music. You will leave feeling more connected to yourself and your church community. You will have the awareness and courage to live your life with more peace, kindness, and compassion.
Will you join us?
