This retreat ROCKED. It truly touched my soul and gave me a sense of peace and centering that I have been missing lately. The community of women at the retreat truly touched me and made me want to form better relationships with women of all ages in the church.

The entire retreat was extremely enjoyable and I had a wonderful and rejuvenating time.

This retreat was a wonderful experience. It was a chance to meet many new women, and to start connections. I enjoyed the environment, although the winter may not be the best time of year for that facility. I thought the cost was reasonable, given food provisions and type of rooms, but I heard many folks who chose not to go, thought it was too much $. Too bad, because they lost out on a good experience.

I liked "getting away" and the location was beautiful.

Overall this retreat was wonderful. I went with the hopes of meeting new women and making friends and both occurred for me. I also was enriched spiritually and it felt so good to feel free to be myself. I really enjoyed the setting and location. It was beautiful, relaxing, and tranquil. It was perfect to get away from the hustle and bustle of Columbia.

I really enjoyed getting to know new people, feeling like I am a part of a special community and attending very interesting workshops!

I really liked our reflection groups and the bonds I was able to develop with the other women in my group.

The scheduled events were all wonderful, but I truly enjoyed the opportunity to just speak with women from the church that I normally don't speak to. The communion with the other women made me feel more included and attached to the congregation as a whole.

The opening worship service was VERY powerful, and I really loved the time with my reflection group. Even though we weren't "required" to eat together after the first dinner, we mostly continued to do so throughout the weekend and are planning future meet-ups now that the retreat is over! I also loved the setting. Yoga in the morning in that sunlight-filled room with a view of the water was amazing. Wabanna is a nice space that feels far enough "away" without being a terribly long drive.

This retreat was great. I loved being wrapped up in such warm, open energy. I loved the women's willingness to share, taking risks, yet feeling safe. I loved the laughter and the joy. I loved the pacing, especially the time between scheduled activities.

Everyone working on the retreat was helpful, supportive, had good humor, and I want to thank all of you for your hard work.
