Woman in the heart of God

- Is there a "feminine specificity"?
- How can we achieve the full flourishing of our femininity?

These are some of the themes we will explore during this 3-day retreat.
An introduction to the liturgy, to lectio divina, and to Gregorian chant are offered to those who wish.
