Bent, but Not Broken
Saturday, November 1, 2025
9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
We began our morning with a continental breakfast, then prayed and meditated. A panel discussion centered on faith, life, and the unique challenges women face. Afterwards, we focused on our mental and physical health, enjoyed lunch, and expressed our creativity through painting and faith-based activities.
