Join us at the Cedar Hill Retreat Center, 346 Standish Street, Duxbury, MA 02331 April 17-20 for an All-Adult Be Love Retreat led by Rev. Sage Cole of the Helen Keller Spiritual Life Collaborative and sponsored by the Massachusetts New Church Union.
This year’s theme will be “Kindling Our Light in the Darkness.” Rev. Sage will bring pieces of Helen Keller’s Story into our retreat sessions and invite participants to share theirs, that together we might kindle each other’s light of love, truth and useful creative service.
