We are currently working on the program for 2014. We expect this year to be another great weekend.
Our 2013 30th anniversary was a fantastic experience of community, fellowship, self-searching, and spirituality. Over 100 women gathered for a weekend of experience, strength and hope.
Here is a beautiful poem one of our sisters wrote and read at the closing ceremony.

Hope is a Mother
Hope is a mother
and I am safely in her womb.
She holds me in my darkness
erasing my feeling of doom.
Hope is a mother
she taught me to survive.
It is through her grace and dignity
I can say that I am alive.
Hope is a mother
full of patience, ripe with poise.
And when my mind is broken
she comes to me and quiets the noise.
Hope is a mother
Deep and mysterious like the sea.
Just when I feel most wretched
she reveals the beauty within me.
Hope is a mother
She rocks me while I cry.
She holds me until my fear subsides
and I have the strength again to try.
Hope is a mother
I am born from her breast
My thoughts, my words, my heart delivered
It is through her my soul is blessed.
