The Gift of Time: An Unstructured Post-Election Retreat
With Kerr Mesner and Nichola Torbett
November 15 - 17, 2024
It is hard to know what the days right after the election will look and feel like. Many of us are working hard on election-related efforts; all of us are likely tired from the strain of all this uncertainty.
In the aftermath of the election, we want to offer folks some space for rest and reflection. Our facilitator, Kerr Mesner, will offer some VERY optional group reflection time, if folks want it, and we’ll have optional spiritual direction available. But most importantly, this time is yours. Use the space however you need.
We’ll offer you a private room and all meals from Friday dinner through Sunday lunch.
Take some time to be with yourself. Be nourished by this beautiful land. Write. Make art. Rest. Sleep. Read a novel. Nurture your soul.
Discounts and scholarships may be available. Ask us!
