We know that “believing requires action. If you prepare to
walk down the path of life, you can be rewarded beyond your dreams and
expectations. But to achieve this, you must work very hard, save, be wise, and
be alert…. Action is inhibited by fear... You rightly have concerns about
measuring up and finding your place in life...We can overcome all of our fears, not all at once, but one
at a time. As we do so we will grow in confidence.” **James E. Faust Oct 1997 Ensign
This fall come closer to God, learn how to strengthen relationships with our family, and seek out knowledge that can further our personal mission.
Who is this retreat for?
This retreat is for Mothers and Mother figures who are seeking a Liber education for themselves, their family, and their community. Attendees do not have to live in Southern Utah. Nursing babies in arms are also welcome with their mother.
Why a retreat? What can I gain from it?
Gathering with women who have similar goals, vision, and like-mindedness can be empowering and validating. Often times, a change in scenery-even for a short amount of time, can help you find the inspiration being sought.
The journey to become Liber is a cycle that encompass the search for truth as well as the application of that truth. This retreat can be a lighthouse in your journey in becoming Liber. Seize this opportunity to revitalize your spirit and gain clarity on questions you may have.
We will provide the environment to help you find the inspiration you need. Your stay will include a night's lodging and three meals. Enjoy friends, inspiring presenters, great food, a sunrise journaling experience, and a beautiful cabin.

| At the 2012 retreat we were surprised with a light blanket of snow. |
We will have a colloquium for the book "A Lantern in Her Hand" by . Please read this book prior to coming and bring insights that you gain. (free online book-there is also the back story to the book found here)
"Love is like a light that you
carry. At first childish happiness keeps it lighted and after that romance.
Then motherhood lights it and then duty...and maybe after that sorrow. You
wouldn't think that sorrow could be a light would you, dearie? But it can. And
then after that, service lights it. Yes...I think that is what love is to a
woman... a lantern in her hand."--Abbie Deal in A Lantern in Her Hand.
We are also asking that everyone be familiar with the principles taught in the book
A Thomas Jefferson Education by Dr. Oliver Demille .
Where is it to be held?
We will gather in beautiful Southern Utah near Brian Head Ski Resort.

" I have absolutely loved this Women's Retreat. Both years have been unique and amazing experiences. I loved the opportunity to work with such amazing women. There were painful moments where I really had to look inside myself and choose to grow. There were fun and relaxing moments. I have learned and been uplifted. Most of all I have felt a wonderful kindred closeness with the other women and returned home more prepared and more ready to move forward in all the many things that I am called to do." -Mari
