Our 2024 Fall Minister’s Retreat will focus on creating space for conversation, connection, and learning together. We will have time to worship, and to connect in small groups. We will have free time and optional activities to soothe our souls and renew our spirits. We are also very blessed to have Julica Hermann de la Fuente with us to guide us in a group learning experience. Julica would love for you to fill out this survey as soon as possible.  Please clink on this link:

Program Information: 

“Yes, And:” Embodied Exercises To Improve Our Antiracism Work"
How do we center the experience and liberation of people of the global majority, without installing ourselves/them on a pedestal? How do we actually teach our beloved people to do better when we know better? How do we remain in the sweet spot of support and challenge when practicing our antiracism commitments? Join Julica Hermann de la Fuente for an exploration of effective antiracism interventions and pastoral interruptions using case studies and some theater techniques from Augusto Boal’s work. Our bodies have so much wisdom! Let’s practice accessing it and taking strategic risks together in the service of liberation and transformation.
