Fall Gathering, October 5-7, 2021
Villa Maria Del Mar, Santa Cruz
Breathing Room
A Fall Retreat of Contemplation and Connection
Would you like to worship with colleagues? Share stories of strange seasons? Bear witness to one another’s joys and struggles? You are invited to bring your whole self—weary, wild, wounded—to spend our fall retreat contemplating and connecting with colleagues. This retreat will leave a great deal of space for you to find whatever you are needing from a retreat. Using an Open Space design, you will be invited to participate in whatever modes nurture and restore your spirit.
Morning, midday and evening worship will offer touchstones of connection with our whole gathered community. Rev. Barbara Meyers will lead us in a kick-off workshop to share the work of her recent book: HELD - Showing Up for Each Other’s Mental Health. She will share stories from her mental health ministry, discuss the impact of COVID on mental health and what can be done to mitigate it, the importance of peer mental health support groups, and The Unitarian Universalist Mental Health Network and its recent survey of mental health in the denomination.
The rest of the retreat will be guided by trusting the needs, desires and passions each of us brings. Rooms and outdoor spaces will be set aside for connecting using various modalities: embodiment and play, art and altar making, writing and poetry, or sacred conversation. A simple structure for organizing and connecting with others will be provided.
Look forward to being with you.
