Paint in the Park Summer Pop-Up Retreat for the Widowed
Paint in the Park Summer Pop-Up Retreat for the Widowed

Masks & Proper Social Distancing Will Be Required.

Sunrise Retreats has had to postponed their 2020 widows retreats due to
safety reasons, but know that it these intimate weekends are a source of
hope and nourishment for so many. 


So, they came up with some ideas of how the Sunrise Retreats can still connect safely with their community. They have planned a series of Pop Up Retreats this summer for widows and widowers in the Boise, Idaho area. 

While these events are not "support groups" they ARE opportunities to visit, connect and support each other while participating in some type of
outdoor activity. This allows
participants to keep a 6 foot distance and
practice safe guidelines from health officials.


If you had lost a spouse, and live in the Boise area, they would love to have
you join them on Tuesday, September 15, 2020 to Paint in the Park
at Kristin Armstrong Park in Boise, Idaho, 11:30 am - 2:30 pm. 
 

If you had lost a spouse, and live in the Boise area,
they would love to have you join them.


PLEASE RSVP so they can have lunch ready.
