StSW Retreats
StSW has led several retreats recently. It's been such a gift to partner with seekers on their journey, drawing each person closer to Spirit, self, and others.

Here are some quotes from recent participants:
​​
"I recommend the StSW Lenten Retreat to everyone who seeks, within an open, small-community atmosphere, to grow in experience with triune God, to deepen themselves spiritually, and to learn about the relationship between God and every thing (including themselves)."
- Jim B.
​
"What a gift right in the midst of lent to walk into and experience a graced centered, open, and welcoming community shaped together in the beautiful creation space of Camp Carol Joy Holling. With David’s thoughtful and spirit led leadership we grew together in surprising and welcome ways. Thank you for the gift of bringing us together."
- P. Eric Spruth-Janssen
StSW Retreat Testimonial
"At the end of the retreat the leader, a friend, asked me how I was doing. I was good - I needed a retreat - I honestly needed what I received at this retreat but I also know it was drawing to a close and I was nearing time to go. I'd been fed - a feast if you will...the important thing I know was to keep "eating" as it were when I got home; keep practicing my practices and receiving what they offered...the feast of the retreat presented me with foods I'd never known before & people...skillfully [gave] me new dishes.
They've changed me; changed my perspectives; and opened to me a new self."
