Campus Ministry is hosting a special engagement for the women who attend and work at Sinclair Community College on Saturday, Oct. 5.
Dr. Jane Steinhauser, who is an interfaith campus minister for Sinclair’s Campus Ministry, will lead the event.
“The retreat will focus on exploring what feeds the spiritual need of each participant,” Steinhauser said in an email. “We will spend time discussing dimensions of the deeper spiritual self, options for nurturing that self and connecting more to the ‘holy’ life.”
She said during this event, women will have the opportunity to come together spiritually.
“Women live differently than men and it’s important for women to come together,” Steinhauser said. “This is a time for women to come together and look deeper inside spiritually and share their faith and may also find a special meaning to life.”
Women have attended this retreat for years, but for Steinhauser, three women stand out vividly.
“I have witnessed three special women who have taken this retreat to heart and have come back repeatedly for 28 years,” Steinhauser said. “They find it invaluable to share with women the issues in life.”
This retreat will give focus to feeding the feminine spirit and discovering a deeper meaning to the lives women live.
“If I don’t take care of myself, I am useless to everyone and this is why I take this time to look deeper spiritually,” she said.
Participants may bring anything they would like as a topping for salad, such as croutons, bacon bits, cheese etc., Steinhauser will be providing the lettuce and salad dressing. Register early, because space is limited.
