Episcopal Church Women Annual Mary Lou Thompson Retreat
September 14, 2024
Please join us at St. Francis Retreat Center for a weekend of inspiration, relaxation, and fellowship, as well as an opportunity to celebrate and worship with the women and friends of the Diocese of El Camino Real.
The theme of our retreat will be: Leading with Heart: In these times of change, adaptive leadership provides the tools we need to find our voices and calling. Using the circular leadership model we build reciprocal relationships that honor diversity of culture, race, age, gender, personality, and ministry. Our interactive workshop(s) with break-out rooms discuss the qualities, critical thinking, and behaviors of Circular Leadership that replace domination and greed. This is about reconciliation with creation and each other, listening to what is and is not shared. By entering the circle of shared leadership, responsibility, and accountability, resurrection, rebirth, and trust are built into our ministries through God’s love and personal relationship.
The program will be facilitated by Christine Budzowski, Evita Krislock, and Kay Lindahl, author of the book The Sacred Art of Listening. During our retreat, we will have time for contemplation, prayer, worship, discussion, and creative expression. ECW will offer opportunities for healing and creative expression.
