The Way of the Healer: Caregivers Retreat

June 6, 7, & 8

St. Joseph Capitola Catholic Community

435 Monterey Avenue   Capitola

Open To All Caregivers

This retreat will be a special time for caregivers to focus on

compassionate care for “self”- a respite from caring for others

Thought from the book, A Hidden Wholeness by Parker Palmer:

“When we are rooted in true self, we can act in ways that are life-giving for us and all whose lives we touch. Whatever we do to care for true self is, in the long run, a gift to the world.”

And, when we also experience how much God loves us as caregivers we can be at peace.
