In a day long retreat with Dr. Charles L Howard of the University of Pennsylvania, we will explore how to curate hope and care for personal integrity during these times of division and discord.

We will look at public discourse and what is happening nationally. How do we engage in prophetic acts with compassion and care?

We will look at how public discourse and the national temperature affects personal relationships. How or even can we maintain relationships amid deep divisions, especially when those divisions expose differences in core values?

What does it mean to be spiritually grounded and widely loving?

What are personal practices that can help us look at the world as it is without finding ourselves in deep despair?

These and other issues will be explored in this full day of silence, sharing, learning, and resting.
