Flying Solo Retreat
Join us for a time of fun and fellowship, relaxation and learning as we gather together at Claggett Center in Adamstown, MD in the beautiful month of October. Emily Oehler will be sharing with us about how to Practice Being Still in various ways: Being Still with Time, Being Still with Presence, Being Still with Intention, Being Still with Prayer and Being Still with Community.
Emily Oehler works at the intersection of "now and next" as a certified executive coach, mindfulness facilitator and a change management consultant. But the title she treasures most is that of Preacher's Kid. She is a three-time member of Westminster, a sitting Elder, and chair of the Adult Formation Committee. You can read her reflections on her blog, Golden Acorns.
The Claggett Center is located on 265 peaceful acres overlooking Sugarloaf Mountain and the Monocacy River valley. We will be staying in the Christiane Inn, right next door to the dining room in Sugarloaf Hall and just across the driveway from the Shenandoah Room, our meeting room in the Conference Center. The Inn, dining room, and meeting room are all completely accessible. All the rooms we have reserved in the Inn are single rooms with private baths. The cost includes two nights and six meals (Friday dinner – Sunday lunch).
