Dear Friend,

We are looking forward to Retreat #6, which will focus on how we experience transformation through self-knowledge, self-examination and confession. We anticipate God has great things in store for us as we prepare to be together virtually on January 25-27, 2021. We will send you a link to join the zoom call a couple days before the retreat.

There is quite a bit of information below so bear with us. For more  guidance on how to plan for your meals, solitude, unplugging from technology, etc., click here. Since this is such a different experience for all of us, we want everyone to feel as prepared as possible for our time together. Please do let us know if you have any questions.

Blessings,
The TC16 Team
