Our "Persistent Conditions with Love" program is a restorative day retreat created for individuals living with chronic illness, offering a space for relaxation, connection, and stillness. Through gentle, accessible practices like mindfulness and light movement, participants will be guided to nurture self-care, build community, and explore practical tools for navigating the complexities of chronic illness. Together, we’ll practice meeting life as it is, welcoming everything as best as we can, and discovering a place of rest in the midst of it all. This retreat is a supportive space to reconnect with yourself.

This program will be led by Karen Norman 200 CYT and Chris Smith MDiv, Marriage and Family Counselor, MBSR trainer.
