Introducing our special guest for the upcoming Half Day Retreat ...

✨ JOY ADAN ✨

Joy is a familiar face (or voice if you've listened to the ATW Podcast) to many women in our diocese! She has 20 years of experience in communications, leadership, and storytelling and is grounded by her Catholic faith and life as a wife and mother. 🫶

Throughout the retreat, Joy will lead us through workshops that blend interactive watercolour sessions with reflections on our faith. We can't wait to explore the theme of this retreat through creativity and community. 🎨🖌✝
