![On the Sacredness of Motherhood. A Spring Retreat with Hildegard of Bingen]()
On this one day retreat we will focus on the idea of motherhood, in the physical as well as spiritual sense, and explore how Hildegard can help us reflect on both the bliss and pain which comes with giving birth to a child, a vocation, or a new stage in life.
