Like all living things, human beings had a beginning and will one day have an end. As individuals, we leave part of ourselves behind when we leave this life, for the building of what comes next.

What does come next? Will our choices slow it down or help it along? The earth and all that is in it will survive. Will we survive with it, or will we insist on our own early death, leaving the earth to begin again without us? Join us for contemplation and communal action. Group work will be complemented by time for individual reflection, refreshment, and opportunities for worship.

Participants will return home more confident in their ability to make a difference in the future of the earth, as individuals and in their communities.

Schedule: The retreat begins with lunch at noon on Friday, August 3 and runs through lunch on Sunday, August 5.
