San Damiano Retreat, 710 Highland Dr., Danville, CA, 94526. Retreat Leader: Paula Jenkins, MAR and the Leadership Team. Lunch is included in the price of $50. We welcome anyone between the ages of 18 and 40 to join us at San Damiano. Topic: “Balance” – Balancing a job and a spiritual life with friends and family, events and free time all becomes a juggling act that can become overwhelming. If we add in a life transition or change (changing a job, dating a new person, moving, getting married, having a child), it can cause a cascade of changes that mean that we have to re-address nearly every aspect of our life. No matter what stage you are in life, whether you are graduating from high school or in college, just starting a new career or have been working for a decade, are single, or married and have children, this retreat will offer something for you.
