Frazzled to Fantastic!
Is Your Daily Schedule Too Packed? Do You Struggle with Managing Stress? Does Relaxation Take a Backseat in Your Life?
Jesus doesn’t want us to get swallowed up by the concerns of this world. Yet how can we share our God-given talents and work together as the body of Christ if we are stuck in our own problems?
“Frazzled to Fantastic” (January 14-15, 2025, at Camp Kinard) is designed to help you discover how to take care of yourself so you can keep doing what God is calls you to uniquely do! A yoga instructor and graduate of Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary, D’Etta Broam has a passion for helping others discover balance in mind, body, and spirit.
Through lecture, interactive, and small group formats, participants will learn self-care tips and practices. In her unique, fun, and faith-filled style, D’Etta will also incorporate methods of breathing, balancing, stretching, and strengthening the bodies that God created. Learn more →
*EARLY BIRD SPECIAL – Those who sign up before January 1, 2025, will receive $20 off their registration!

Alive Again: Nourishment for Life
Are you tired of being tired?
Do you wonder how our food systems might have become so distorted and broken that local food shared by neighbors has become radical and difficult?
Are you interested in hearing about how fuel for your Soul and Spirit can inform and BE informed through God’s good food for your body?
Come together to explore the connection of Spiritual and Physical nourishment and how our lives can COME ALIVE with God’s good fuel. Utilizing Scripture and Nature hand in hand, you will leave this retreat inspired and equipped to immediately begin a shift toward a more complete life FULL OF LIFE-ING! Recipes and Scripture will be yours for the keeping, in addition to fellowship and the peaceful pristine beauty of Camp Kinard.
Come and be fed with the Living Word and life-giving foods! Register Here →
