Ladies Retreat Idea

We just had a blessed ladies retreat at Richardson East and I thought I would share the theme idea just in case it could bless someone else. Our starting off place was Ken Gire's book Windows of the Soul. We called the retreat Open Windows/Encounters with God. We then developed nine windows where we can encounter God. We decorated each room and had experiences in each center that were multi-sensory.
-The Kitchen Window focused on encountering God through serving.
-The Bedroom Window focused on encountering God in rest and dreams
-The Patio Window focused on encountering God in nature
-The Parlor Window focused on encountering God through our gifts and talents
-The Dining Room Window focused on encountering God through communion and feasting
-The Living Room Window focused on encountering God through relationships
-The Game Room Window focused on encountering God through entertainment
-The Bathroom Window focused on encountering God through cleansing and forgiveness
-The Nursery Window focused on encountering God through childlikeness
Each woman had the opportunity to choose five of the windows during the weekend. If anyone is interested in the specifics of what we did in each window and the guided experiences you can email me at lynn_leaming@tx.rr.com and I will be glad to send them to you. We received a lot of positive feedback from the women in attendance that it was a blessed time.
