🌿✨ Annual Staff Retreat ✨🌿
This week our team gathered for our annual overnight retreat—a time of rest, laughter, reflection, and renewal. One of our forensic interviewers, Felicia Patten, shared this beautiful quote from John Muir:
"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike." 🌄
That’s exactly what we experienced—space to play, to pray, and to be renewed in the beauty of creation. From cruising around Greers Ferry Lake to sharing meals, playing games, and receiving heartfelt cards from our board members, our hearts are full.
A very special thank you to our board member Seth Coleman and his wife Bethanie for graciously hosting us in their stunning Airbnb, Lakeview Escape in Fairfield Bay. And to our entire board—we are so grateful for your belief in the importance of rest and connection. Your support helps sustain us so we can continue giving our very best to every child who walks through our doors. 💙👣
