- Theme: Sacred Threads: Braiding Stories, Rituals, and Gratitude.

- Dates: October 18-20, 2024
You could think of this retreat as a weekend-long book club. We’ll spend time delving into Robin Wall Kimmerer’s acclaimed book, Braiding Sweetgrass. As we do so, we’ll explore and reflect on parallels found in Christianity which also call us to practice care for Creation. We’ll seek and marvel in the depth and beauty of stories that, in the words of Kimmerer, “allow us to imagine a different relationship, in which people and land are good medicine for each other.”
Pre-reading is not required, but you are encouraged to bring a copy of the book along with your thoughts, questions, and insights.
For help registering please call (608)734-3113 or email office@sgrcreek.org.
We have wonderful weekends set aside just for you to enjoy making your crafts! Bring your special crafts or unfinished projects, and dedicate a weekend to getting them done! We cook the meals and do the dishes and even lead a special devotion in the evenings.
