Earth Connect Retreat
Saturday, September 12, 9 AM – 3 PM
Willow Glen United Methodist Church, San Jose
This retreat is open to all!
This Earth Connect spring retreat at Willow Glen UMC in San Jose is organized by Climate Justice Ministries, a California-Nevada Conference task force.
In this time when there are assaults on all sides, we need to make space to connect with the Divine — to be spiritually grounded — as a daily first step toward works of love and justice. Participants will gather in facilitated small groups for meditation and conversation. Be prepared for some time outdoors, weather permitting.
Participants will receive an orientation to the Sacred Ground project and a list of possible “field trips” for the journey home!
Vegetarian lunch provided. $20 suggested donation.
