*Attendees do not need to be Christian Counselors or even Christian believers to benefit from the teaching, which will consider questions like: What do I do with Christian clients? or, how do I answer client’s existential questions, or questions about meaning and purpose, or the deeper matters of the heart? Maybe you have your own existential or theological questions that speakers can help you ponder. Retreat is meant to offer a perspective that can be a benefit to all counselors. All are welcome.
Stay tuned for Art Camps and other self-care retreats in the future!
