This mini-retreat is a rare opportunity to spend time with Carrie Newcomer before her concert in town. She’ll perform at Music on the Marsh at 7 p.m. Thursday, November 14, at The Nature Place, 789 Myrick Park Drive, La Crosse. Tickets for the show can be purchased separately at www.natureplacelacrosse.org starting in August.
This retreat led by singer-songwriter Carrie Newcomer will use music, poetry, reflective writing and small- and large-group conversation to explore the personal stories and practices that keep us resilient and help us stay centered. We’ll consider the things that have helped us maintain hope in the past and ponder whether those things are still available to us. And, if so, how do we access them? This mini-retreat does not diminish current and historic hardship or injustice but explores how might we might hold our individual and community challenges with creative and life-giving tension, knowing that our work for the better world is not just a destination but a daily orientation.
Space is limited!
Investment: $60, includes lunch
