Summary

Sandy B hosted the Far Corners Retreat every year from 2007 until this last one in 2012. This was a mens retreat intended to explore growth in spirituality, humility and forgiveness. The topic for the first three parts is - Our Society. Sandy B spoke and led workshops all over the world for many years. This feels like it ends abruptly and is cut off, it is not. Part 3 of 7. I just added a Womans Retreat to the event list happening late this month in Illinois, no website for this one so visit the detail link and download the flyer.
