The Heart of Sweet Fragrance Retreat

After the death of 2 husbands to cancer, one of 46 years, the other of 4 years, I took my morning walk up the mountain to be greeted by a luscious aroma of pines. It lifted my soul as I inhaled its calming beauty. I paused, drinking in the experience, and continued a little way to be engulfed in ANOTHER wave of evergreen splendor. Each day I returned to that road upward to be greeted by the same delightful experience. Each day I began to notice nature lessons of my Creator's caring presence in the plants, the rocks, the wildlife. I took my Bible and a lawn chair into the trees to experience my Father's breath in a way I'd not known before while sitting alone in my house.

​

Thus began the real healing of my heart and soul. I realized that widowhood is a special, forgotten 'club' of women who need each other.

​

My desire is to provide a soothing place in the mountains for us to come together for strength and renewal.

​

Won't you join me? We will share worship in song, music, devotional time, and learn how to keep strong through wholesome, nutritional practices to have a NEW START in life.

​

The retreat is held at a beautiful log home on the Kootenai river, so bring a widow friend.

​

Experience renewal and the sweet fragrance of your Heavenly Father's love for you. Find your purpose as we help each other realize the gifts we still have to offer in His service.

​

Experience SHALOM.
