FORGIVE, LET GO, AND BEGIN AGAIN

On August 30, 20 women gathered together and enjoyed a day of healing. The fourth annual Women's Healing Retreat, held under the theme "Forgive, Let Go, and Begin Anew," took place at Mrs. Dorothy Hill's house with Mrs. Gillian Corcoran, Mrs. Linda Zochol, and Mrs. Hill facilitating. The retreat was held in loving memory of our beloved sister, Mrs. Marie-France Dougherty.

We listened in the morning to personal healing stories on forgiveness and letting go. In the afternoon, we all did an exercise called "the miracle of self-healing."

We then brought our newly formed intention into our walk in the labyrinth, and concluded by sharing our experiences of healing or new insights.

We were honored to hear authentic stories of healing in each other's lives. We noticed that the power of our Heavenly Parent's love and healing becomes even more potent when we come together in a group with the intention of healing. Thank you to all who were able to attend. Thanks to Mrs. Corcoran for coming from New Mexico and also to Mrs. Zochol and Mrs. Hill for helping to organize this retreat. Also, special thanks to Jim Dougherty for his great technical help and for his kind and gracious support.
