The time has come for MPC women to retreat to the hills of the East Bay! 
This year our retreat falls on Halloween Weekend, and so our focus will be (aptly) The Masks Women Wear, led by Rev. Beth Buckingham-Brown. Our gathering begins Friday evening, October 28th for dinner and continues through breakfast and celebration Sunday, October 30th. This is a time out from the hurry of our lives, a time for reflection, singing, sharing, laughing and community. The art muses will encourage us to get our hand dirty with clay and design meditation beads, and our resident scribe will tickle our imaginations. Retreating from the activities of “normal” life is a time-honored spiritual practice that can nourish, inspire, and rejuvenate your soul. Retreating into the beloved community of church friends is a favorite way to do so!
