Grounded in God
In an increasingly turbulent and fast-paced world, we sometimes find it difficult to connect with God at a deeper level, find that place where we can be at peace and find the strength to show up for life.
Through this retreat, we will explore our understanding of God and discover practices that will help us connect with God in ways that bring greater meaning to our spiritual lives and help us to live in ways that are authentic, purposeful and transformative.
Together, we will engage in discussion, stories, music, worship, creative arts, reflection, and contemplation and come in closer contact with ourselves and God. We invite you to join us – our gathering will be inspirational and spiritual.
SESSION LEADER
Rev. Julia Kimmett
Julia was born and raised on a small farm in south-eastern Ontario. When she was confirmed at the age of 13 she knew she was called to ministry but it took her another 3 decades until she followed that call. She was ordained in 2012 after working in a downtown United Church in Calgary as a Staff Associate in Spiritual Formation for 17 years. She now serves as the minister at Okotoks and De Winton United Churches.
Julia has a passion for Spiritual Formation and big ideas. She believes that an adult faith comes from critically challenging what we learned as children and that it may not look much like it did in our younger years.
