Retreat Format

The format will be somewhat different this year as Tom and Diane Hawkins will be the only facilitators. We will still have plenty of teaching, separated and combined discussion groups, and lots of time for interaction. We will also do a limited amount of teaching on DID so spouses can better understand the nature of the diagnosis. We will also be available for personal interaction between sessions but regret that we will be unable to accommodate formal, individual ministry time. Opportunity may be offered for counseling with the Restoring the Foundations ministry team at Echo Mountain Inn. Ask for that ministry when you call to reserve your room.
