Shehaqua Fall Festival

Fri. October 16 — Sun. October 18

Theme: Seeking the Origin

Sometimes we need a refreshing experience away from everything to find a new perspective, and get back to our best, God-given selves. Weekend will be centered around:

  • Having Fun! Building and deepening friendships
  • Accepting and letting go of the parts of us that hurt others, actively or through absence, "I want to be the best version of my Self"
  • Opportunities to reflect about the Divine, to feel grounded and peaceful, and maybe feel God directly
