Conscious Contact Women’s Weekend Retreat: The Wisdom of Compassion (In Person) Thursday, July 14, 4:00 p.m. through Sunday, July 17, 11:00 a.m. Facilitated by Sister Cathy Cahill, O.S.F. This weekend we will delve into the topic of compassion as a necessary component of recovery. Often people connect compassion with weakness or enabling or excusing bad behavior. Wisdom knows that is not true. A combination of talks, discussions, private reflection, and time for rest will make this a very good way to spend a weekend. Open to women in any 12 Step program.
