Here are a few important things to bring/do:

2) Be prepared for SNOW! Spokane has a couple feet of snow and will have highs around 36. We will have some good free time so you may want to see if the sledding hill is in any shape for use.
3) Bring your journal or a notebook to use during guided reflection.
4) Bring journals from your time of service/transition for private reflection.
5) Bring a photo (printed) of one person that was significant to you during your season of service.

9) Toiletries/warm clothes (layers)
10) Puppets available at Hearth if you want to design your own puppet show for our entertainment
Feel free to email with any questions. Also, though the impetus for the retreat is transitiong out of ‘volunteer service' we hold that term loosely as many times KC's ‘formal service' extends into vocational work/employment. The retreat will focus on debriefing the service journey (as you define it) and navigating the season of transition beyond. Together we will create space to explore how certain experiences and encounters have enriched, challenged, reshaped who we are, how we perceive the world and choose to interact with it. Perhaps most importantly, we have an opportunity to do this in the context of hearing each others journey.
