Courting the Mystery
Led By Rosemary Tarcza and Amelia Perkins

The Elder Journey
Led by Jon Terrell and Stephanie Roy
What does it mean to be an elder in today’s world? How do we bring the wisdom of our years to help each other live more fully, more vibrantly, more “soulfully” into this stage of the journey? Just as parents need other parents and couples need other couples, elders need other elders who’ve experienced both the unique joys and often daunting challenges associated with this stage of life.

Sexuality and Spirituality
Led by Kristen Chamberlin
We can heal the western-cultural split between the sacred and the sexual when we open in radical trust with another: to be vulnerable emotionally, physically and spiritually. When we are held in community, our hearts can learn to love in ways we’ve never imagined – opening us to be avenues for the Divine.
Making Welcome: A ProJustice Retreat
Led by Carrie Jameson and Nina Swift
Discrimination, Racism, Sexism, Ableism, etc are functions of the systems we live in. We also live in a society that keeps us from our power by imprinting harmful patterns of behavior: perfectionism, conflict avoidance, shame, denial and defensiveness, binary “either/or” thinking. Making Welcome is an antidote to these toxic patterns.
