Life Transitions

Finding God in the Center of the Unknown.

Are you trying to adjust from the difficult loss of a loved one, a change of health, retirement, divorce, or empty-nest?

An In-Person Retreat

September 19, 2026, 9:00 - 4:00

Mercy Center Auburn, Northern California

Honor the Threshold You’re Standing In

Life is full of transitions—some chosen, some unexpected, some quietly unfolding within us. Whether you are navigating retirement, grief, changes in health or relationships, or simply sensing a deeper inner stirring, this retreat offers sacred space to pause, reflect, and listen to what is emerging in you.

Reflect on God’s Invitation from Transition to Transformation

During our time together, we will explore the different phases of a transition and how God meets us in each one. Through presentation, personal reflection time, sharing (if you choose to share), and prayer practices, you will be invited to discover how moments of uncertainty can become pathways to new life in the way of growth, meaning, and renewed faith.

Open Yourself to Healing, Joy, and Wholeness

This retreat will gently invite you to honor what you are feeling—mind, body, and soul—while making room for joy to return. You’ll be reminded that whatever you are going through, you are not alone. The Holy is within us, even in the middle of the unknown.

This retreat gave me a deeper understanding and validation of the tumultuous feelings and stresses of life transitions and the coping skills we learned about. I'm also grateful for the encouragement from the retreat participants and facilitators. Thank you.
