CELTIC NEW YEAR RETREAT
31st Oct and 1st Nov 2009
We are holding a ‘BIG FUNDRAISING WEEKEND’ event with a sponsored Firewalk, a Sweat Lodge and other events as part of our efforts to raise money to support the Foundation.
You can join us for both days or just one day.
Facilitators volunteering at the weekend:
Mark Halliday, Claudia Goncalves, Jen Gould, Diane McKay, Karen Redpath, Jivan Kavyo, Peter Goven, Anthony Ogley and Daniel Alison
Why is Foundaton's work important for the Community and why do we need your support for this event?
Our Holistic Community Health Project supports members of our community who are going through a challenging time and also find themselves in an economically disadvantaged position. |
