Winter Retreat: Speaker Bios
Sharonne Price has lived a rich and complex life in many roles – palliative care social worker, educator, mediator, wife, mother, grandmother, chaplain, retreat leader, author, writer, pastoral programme developer. She writes poetry, hymns, prayers and songs when inspiration breaks through. Sharonne brings wisdom and a gentleness of heart to the retreat setting, seeking to inspire, nurture and encourage every artist to offer the gifts they bring.
Sharonne is looking forward to spending time with kindred spirits!
