Walking in the Winter of Life


  • Mercy Center Auburn 535 Sacramento Street Auburn, California, 95603 United States (map)

This retreat is for participants 65 and older.

Every season of life brings with it its own blessings and challenges. As we enter the winter years of our lives we face new challenges, new questions and a sense of discovering ourselves awe. Through this retreat we are invited to explore the unique calls of this special season of life, the call of letting go, of sacred memory, of weakness and limitation, of the mystery of suffering, and the call of surrendering to our deepest love. Most of all, we are invited to listen to the call of God for this new period of our journey, one which will bring us to "the place of our resurrection." If you desire to savor the special grace of elderhood, this retreat can be your step along the way.
