Dr Dorothy Jonaitis – “When suffering happens, make meaning!”

Life is not always the way we want it to be.  Tragedy can occur, which might lead to trauma and suffering.

Drawing from the experiences of her life, Dr. Jonaitis will offer retreatants an opportunity to reflect upon their own journeys of faith,   in which healing can take shape.

The presentation will include prayer, art, and music.
