Do you take your smartphone to bed with you? Spend more time with Netflix than your loved ones? Email people who are 10 feet away? It’s time to re-connect.
The annual Oasis retreat — a day of renewal for employees of Loma Linda University Health — will take place Thursday, May 18, with the theme “Finding Meaningful Connections in a Disconnected World.”
“We will discover what it means to set our hearts on God and connect with ourselves so we can most effectively relate to others,” said Kathy McMillan, MA, Oasis organizer and director of employee spiritual care at Loma Linda University Medical Center.
“Oasis will provide a refreshing escape from the desert of daily busyness,” she said.
Offering insight as the day’s keynote speakers will be Carla Gober-Park, PhD, assistant vice president for spiritual life and mission; Jana Boyd, PhD, LMFT, director, employee and student assistance program; and Aren Rennacker, associate pastor, Calimesa Seventh-day Adventist Church.
The day will provide opportunities to learn, interact with others and spend time in personal reflection.
Oasis will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Forest Home Christian Conference Center, 40000 Valley of the Falls Drive, Forest Falls, CA, 92339.
