LOVE IS Healthy Relationships Retreat
 
'Through devotions, discussion, and hands-on activities, participants will explore God’s design for love and intimacy, understand more about themselves and what they bring to relationships, and learn practical ways to strengthen healthy connections. We’ll also explore attachment styles and how our brains influence the ways we respond and connect with others. Single, dating, or married—individuals and couples are welcome! SIGN UP HERE.

Dates: Friday, November 20: 4:00–9:00 pm, Saturday, November 21: 9:00 am–5:00 pm
Location: Kingdom Workers, Waukesha, WI. Registered participants will receive the exact address and arrival details.
Cost: No registration cost. Refreshments and lunch will be provided.

The retreat uses a trauma-informed approach, and participants are free to share at their own comfort level. It is designed for adults, though mature teens ages 16–17 are welcome. The sexual intimacy lesson includes open, respectful, non-explicit discussion of sex.
