OUr Journey of Faith

Entering into a Retreat

Join our UPcoming Advent Retreat

Connection Through Prayer

A life on the dementia journey is not always kind to escaping to a retreat, but that should not stop us from entering into deep prayer and the exploration of our faith life.

Answering the Call by leaning into Beauty. Our longing for Christ is a place dementia cannot touch. How do we grow in faith while working with the challenges of this disease?  We use the tools we have, the beauty of the faith, and our longing for Christ to guide us. 

These retreats are fit for care partners (both family and professional alike) and for those through early to mid-stages of dementia.
