Geez Is Offering 3 Retreats in 2023
“View from Kirkridge Retreat and Study Center,” Daniel Wylie-Eggert, 2022.
In this retreat based on our article in Geez 68, we will explore the eucharist as a radical ritual to release our vital energies for love, activism, and solidarity. You do not need to be a card-carrying Christian to participate! At its best, communion is a ritual working-through of denial, guilt, shame, trauma, and mourning, with recourse to a power greater than ourselves, that can move us from victimhood to full humanity, a fundamental rupture and rebirth. Come join the conspiracy of the broken. Leave with tools for welcoming others. Let’s re-member each other. Register here.
We celebrate and remember the power and brilliance of children as part of our beloved community! Join us for an intergenerational gathering focused on workshops, crafts, and activities through the eyes of children. May this be a time drenched in their wisdom, creativity, and play. Bonfires, art projects, conversations, games, puppets, music, and more. May it offer kids a magical Geez-y journey of justice, spirit, and joy. All are welcome! This is a time for kids of all ages with a wide understanding of what family means. Come on your own, come with beloveds, come help us pitch the tent. Register here.
Let’s gather together to remember, reclaim, and name those who have gone before us and continue to walk with our work today. Join us in the woods of the Appalachian mountains to honour this time when the veil between the living and the dead is thinnest. It will be a time for storytelling, altar building, and listening for their voices calling from the stones and the wind. Register here.
