Women’s Support Groups

Women’s Support Groups are open to women who are members and friends of the church.  The groups provide ongoing sharing and support to one another in a small group setting. 

Some also work on deepening their spiritual practice in various ways, as in addressing the worship themes, considering Parker Palmer’s touchstones.

Prospective members are asked to contact Xenia Young about availability of current openings. There is usually a short wait until one of the groups has an opening or until a new group forms.

Women’s Retreat

The Women’s Retreat has been an annual event for close to 30 years. It remains one of the favorite events of the year. It is held in a beautiful old mansion that has been converted to a retreat house and is owned and run by the brothers of Mr. Calvary. With a combination of nicely decorated single and double rooms we are able to accommodate up to 24 women. The property is centrally located between the Mission and the Natural Science Museum in Santa Barbara. It has a serene feeling due to the large private grounds bordering the creek. There are beautiful mountain views and lovely trails on the property for some private meditative walks. The food is lovingly prepared by a talented chef with homemade bread and plenty of vegetarian options. Facials and massages are extra fees. Typically scheduled in April, from 4:00 pm Friday—2:00 pm Sunday Location: Mt. Calvary, Santa Barbara

Contact: Dorothy Fast Horse.  Donation: $250 for the weekend with scholarships available
