Dancing With God Women’s Retreat
Announcing the first Michigan Dancing With God Retreat! Your host, Cheryl Glicker, introduces the Daughters of God Facilitator team of Line St. Pierre, Katharina Becker, Carolyn Prentiss, and Doreen Heyne, who invite you to an intimate, experiential, and FUN weekend.
During this retreat, "Dancing With God Our Supreme Calling," we will co-create a milieu of trust within a spiritual circle. Together we will explore and share our personal experiences and discoveries of how we answer this calling to dance with God, which is an open invitation to bring God's love into this world by pursuing a spirit-led, unified life that creates our tomorrow through our lives today.
