Silent Retreat led by Paula D’Arcy (theme will be announced closer to the dates of the retreat)

Paula D'Arcy is a retreat leader and speaker, the author of 12 books, including, Gift of the Red Bird, Waking Up to This Day, Stars at Night and Winter of the Heart. In 1975 Paula D’Arcy’s husband and daughter were killed in a drunken driving accident. She was twenty-seven years old and three months pregnant, yet survived. Six months later she gave birth to her second daughter, Beth, and began the long process of healing. Since that time, she has authored many books, worked as a therapist in private practice, and established a retreat and speaking ministry. Paula’s ministry is to serve the very movement of love that changed her own destiny. Her guiding focus is embedded in an intention to assist others in the opening of the heart and awakening to a greater love.  Red Bird Foundation was founded by Paula D'Arcy in 2001 as a non-profit foundation dedicated to assisting others in the transformation of pain and the restoration of hope. http://www.redbirdfoundation.com.
