Hi everyone, this is John Delin with a very important special announcement.

For those of you who don't know and even for those who do, I just want to make sure you all are aware

of the St. George Mormon Stories retreat that's coming up February 9th through 11th.

A couple of very important things about this retreat. Number one is that we've lowered the prices.

If you're a donor to the Open Stories Foundation, it's only $199 for the whole weekend.

That's basically a little more than the price of one hour of a therapy session.

And you're getting two and a half sort of days of the equivalent to not only therapy, but also

friendships and community building and fun. If you're not an OSF donor, the flat rates 299

for the whole weekend, but get this everybody. There are scholarships available where people can

attend for free or for heavily discounted. And even more importantly, we have free lodging for

everyone who wants to attend. Right now, 20 people have signed up. We really need at least 40 people

to make this worth the time. We are bringing Natasha Helfer Parker in from Wichita. I am not making

any money off of this event, not a dollar. The proceeds from this event simply go to pay for the event.

So the topics that we're covering during this event include healthy marriages, healthy relationships.

You don't have to come with your partner. You don't even have to be in a marriage or a significant

relationship. We discuss how to communicate with believing in family and friends during a faith

crisis, how to navigate a faith crisis, how to improve your mental health during a faith crisis,

healthy sexuality during a faith crisis, and after raising healthy kids, spirituality after a

faith crisis, there's so many important topics that we cover. And we also have a ton of fun.

And again, free lodging and free scholarships for those who aren't in a position to be able to pay.

I don't see any reason why we shouldn't have at least 40 people attending this event. Again,

it's February 9th through 11th. If you're interested in attending, just please go to mormastories.org.
