{WOMEN'S RETREAT. Simplicity: Love God. Love Others.}
On Saturday 12th September, women from the Sunshine Coast Stake and further afield gathered at the Forest Glen Chapel to partake of stories, workshops, good food and good company.
The day began with a meeting where women who participated in the Simplicity Experiment shared their thoughts on how it impacted their lives.
Presenters shared insights, experiences and talents in Workshops such as:
Seeing yourself as God sees You; Simple Self Care Routines; The Gift of Stillness; Rest Without Guilt; Letting Go of Spiritual Perfectionism; Simplifying your Personal Worship; Everyday Prayer that Feels Real; Scripture Journalling; Service Project; Loving Difficult People; Christlike Friendship and Building Community.
Spaces were also created for those who wanted to be more creative and feel relaxed in less structure. Flowers were available for women to arrange posies to brighten the day.
