About the Retreat
Aging Faithfully in our Bodies, Minds and Souls: An Interactive retreat for Men and Women
Featuring Alice Fryling, author of Aging Faithfully: The Holy Invitation of Growing Older and Bill Mowry, speaker and author of two Nav Press books, The Ways of the Alongsider and The Ways of the Leader.
Have you ever thought of aging as a holy invitation from God? What are and how do you deal with the unique challenges you face emotionally, spiritually and physically as you age?
Join Mary Wood, Alice Fryling, and Bill Mowry as we look at the realities of the aging process. We will unpack and embrace our spiritual and physical well-being in Christ. We will enjoy beautiful Glen Eyrie and be encouraged through discussions based upon Alice’s book and Bill’s writings, and the wisdom that is present about aging all through the Bible. Enjoy special times of communing with God, as well as participating in practical ways to age well and steward our God-given bodies and lives. No matter where you are in the process of aging, you’ll go home with tools to help you age well and keep God as your center. View schedule for more details and to see when Alice will join us for a special session. You will also go home with your own copy of Aging Faithfully.
Please see the schedule for more detail about each session.
**If you’d like to come earlier or stay after your retreat dates, lodging is available at a Programs discounted rate. Please call our reservations line at 719-265-7050 for details.
