June 17, 2026, Adrian, Michigan – If you find yourself longing for certainty, you are not alone. But what might it look like to remain in the present with courage and grace? The Circle of Trust Retreat invites you to attend to what is as we notice the gifts that arise in the liminal place.
Finding Courage and Grace in Liminal Spaces: A Circle of Trust Retreat is hosted at Weber Retreat and Conference Center from 4:00 p.m. Friday, August 14, 2026, through 1:00 p.m. Sunday, August 16, 2026. This retreat offers foundational touchstones that steady us in trustworthy relationships; solitude and community to notice how we hold moments of transition woven into the seasons of our lives; silence that creates space for quiet wisdom; and spaciousness for creatively honoring what is revealed.
The retreat is offered by the Center for Courage and Renewal, whose mission is to “nurture deep integrity and relational trust, building the foundation for a more loving, equitable, and healthy world.”
Facilitators are Kirstin Anglea and Sophia Lloyd. Kirstin became a facilitator with the Center for Courage and Renewal in 2014. She leads Circle of Trust retreats in a variety of formats for all who yearn to live an undivided life. Sophia is guided by the belief that tending to our inner lives makes us more available for the outer work the world asks of us. Share the event flyer (PDF).
The cost – including materials, supplies, meals, snacks, and beverages – is $238 for commuters, $388 per person for double occupancy, and $418 for single occupancy.
