"A retreat is a way to care for the soul, offering us time and space to experience God's gifts and be touched on a deeper level."
Ms. Julie Woolway,
Retreat Director
Julie Woolway grew up in Texas and made a solo move to San Francisco in 1986. She has been in Al-Anon for eleven years and believes that sharing experience, strength, and hope with others in 12-step recovery is the path to living a life of peace and serenity. Raising a special needs child has put her on an unexpected journey of faith and self-discovery. The gift is pure and simple — her heart expanded and filled with an infinite capacity to love and feel God's presence and grace. Julie lives in Redwood City with her husband, 5-year old daughter, and three cats.
