The Experience

I have attended two Retreats with Claire and each session was an opportunity to slow my thoughts down and learn to listen with trust. Life’s journey is full of challenges and I have come to believe that being intentional in life means setting aside time to be still, focusing on positive thoughts and striving for a consistent relationship with God. ​
