RETREATS For Women
"Graced Moments...honoring the Light within"
...will offer you soul-enriching time away in an array of choices.



Ladies, we are delighted to invite you to the Oscar Swan Country Inn in Geneva, IL for a Friday evening to Sunday noon retreat. This beautiful country mansion sits on 8 acres and offers gorgeous grounds, a swimming pool, gardens and many places to wander in peace. A gazebo chapel awaits your prayers! We've built in time for you ... white space... time to pray ... meditate ... read ... wander ... sleep ... whatever your spirit and body need.
Each retreat accommodates a maximum of 20 women.
Call your friends ... sister ... mom ... or come by yourself to this welcoming place! You'll be so blessed! Cost is only $225 each and details appear below. Mother-Daughter retreat costs $400 and includes 1mom/1daughter (more daughters can attend at a cost of $100 each).
There is no elevator on site, so the ability to climb stairs
is a necessity. More info will be forthcoming to elaborate on the topics offered.
