In-Person Retreat
Courage for the Call
A Day & Weekend Retreat at Mercy Center Auburn
Day Retreat: Saturday, March 11, 2023
Weekend Retreat: March 10-12, 2023
Thank you to all who attended! We will update you on our next in-person retreat at Mercy Center Auburn in the fall soon.
Our next in-person retreat at Mercy Burlingame is in June. Take a look.
God, Grant me Courage
God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
-Reinhold Niebuhr
When life takes an unexpected turn and you are faced with challenging decisions or when you are confused as to where God is calling you and unsure what to do, the “courage” part of the Serenity prayer is difficult.
Questions start to surface: Am I qualified to try this? Will I get hurt if I take a risk? What will I have to let go in the process?
This retreat invites you to see that within every call is the grace to respond when you surrender into the merciful arms of God.
Reflect on the struggle to surrender, the difference between worries and concerns, and the path towards opening your heart to a place of inner freedom.
What to Expect
Our in-person retreats are held in the fall and spring on the beautiful grounds of Mercy Center Auburn in Northern California.

I appreciated meeting women who were positive, inspiring, and compassionate about saying yes to taking caring of themselves. Now I’m feeling less guilty for taking time out for myself and I’m learning to find a happy balance in my life with God.
