NB: This retreat was originally for women, however we have decided to make the retreat gender non-specific.
Let’s spend some meaningful time together in community exploring the inner healing it takes to transform the harm of all of the violence in our world and emerge with a strategy for long-term social healing.
This weekend retreat is an invitation to renewal, restoration and re-connecting.
It will include periods of rest and silence, discussion and reflection, meditation/prayer and creative expression as we explore the power and potential of deepening our commitment to nonviolence in all aspects of our lives.
