One of the gifts of grand-parenting is presence and taking delight in our grandchildren. In our time together we’ll explore our own stories and spiritual experiences and invitations on how we might come alongside our grandchildren on a journey of awakening, listening, wondering, and cultivating a lifelong friendship with the holy together. Grand-parenting retreats with grandchildren will be offered on second Sundays in June, July, and August. Reserve your space—email Debbie@mountainlightretreatva.com.

These retreats are offered by Kathy Doby, who enjoys creating space for relationships to flourish, with one another and the Divine. Kathy is a Spiritual Companion and Contemplative Retreat Leader, trained at RUAH School of Spiritual Guidance and Shalem Institute’s Transforming Community: Leading Contemplative Retreats Program. She has a Master’s in early childhood, working at ReadyKids and serving as Director of Faith Formation for children/youth in several local congregations.
