Women's Retreat
Please join us for a spirit-led District Women's Retreat April 4-6, 2025, at the Heartland Center for Spirituality in Great Bend, Kansas.
Our presenter for the weekend will be Marie Neher. Marie is a healing arts practitioner including Reiki, shamanic healing, teaching, and leading workshops. Her practice is grounded in the belief that energy alignment and soul work enhance our ability to heal; physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Marie is certified in both sound healing and as a Mt 10 Labyrinth guide. She will use both modalities in guiding us deeper into our inner Holy Wisdom, or Sophia (a Greek word used in the Old Testament that translates into Lady Wisdom).
This retreat will be engaging and very participatory!
