Y4 - Retreat- August 2008.pdf
Remember that this course will cover Ideals 1 in its entirety, and it is also a fantastic weekend away, the Venturers from last year are still talking about it.
The Venturer Retreat is a weekend away to get you all thinking about some of the more spiritual and emotional side of life - morals, values, life choices, and things that are important to you, your friends, your family and all of humanity. The course will allow you to complete your Ideals 1 tape, but even if you don’t care about the badgework, we are sure you’ll come home with a fresh outlook on life and hopefully you’ll discover something more about yourself too.
Places are limited, so please send in your application well before the closing date of 1st August 2008.
