Weekend of Spirit: “Inspiring Courage”

September 30, 2018 by Rev. Debbie Clark

Friday and Saturday, October 19 and 20

Join us for our sixth annual Weekend of Spirit. Through shared meals, music, conversation, art projects and experiential workshops, we will delve into our theme: “Inspiring Courage.” We will hear from people who inspire us about what inspires them. We will reflect on the different meanings courage has for each of us. We will find courage to laugh, courage to let go, courage to make a difference. Come explore this rich theme in a relaxed and relaxing environment.
This mini-retreat takes place right here, on the campus of Edwards Church, in the heart of Saxonville. It is affordable—with an early bird registration (due October 4) of $30 for the entire event. You can come to the whole event or just to part of it!

Weekend of Spirit begins on Friday evening at 6:00 p.m. with a Shabbat supper that is welcoming to people from all spiritual perspectives.

On Saturday morning, the program opens with a keynote presentation by Robyn Bernstein from Peaceful Tomorrows, an organization of survivors of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack who work to promote healing and peace. Following that, you will be able to choose among six experiential workshops, including: “Laugh your Way through Fear,” “Reducing Stress in Body and Mind,” “Engaging Courage through Enneagram,” “Facing and Fighting Racism,” “Music of Courage and Protest,” and “Courage: the Master of Fear in Yourself and Others.”

An extended lunch break will include opportunities to make courage bracelets, painted rocks, rally banners, and a chance to receive a short “healing spa” treatment, such as reiki or sound healing.

Afternoon workshops include: “Meditation: Cultivating Inner Strength and Courage,” “Ole! Namaste! The Courage to Dance: Mindful Movement for Every/Body,” “Everything You have Wanted to Know About Essential Oils but were afraid to ask,” “Be Brave: Make Art,” and “Expanding Our Hearts with Courage on the Path.”

Early-bird registration is available until October 4 for a discounted rate of $30 for the entire weekend!
