Speaker: Roy Petitfils
We invite you to join us for SPICE 2024, a transformative retreat guided by Roy Petitfils, LPC with the theme “Rooted in Faith”.
In the midst of our changing cultural landscape, this event reminds us of the power of faith as a source of strength and transformation. Throughout the retreat, we will explore themes of hope, humility, and acceptance through scripture and personal reflection. You will be invited to deepen your faith, embrace self-care and empower yourselves to be a powerful witness for others.
We look forward to welcoming you for a retreat of enrichment and renewal as we strengthen our roots in faith.
