Hope-Filled in a Wounded and Polarized World

“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.”  Desmond Tutu

How do we live with hope in a world that is wounded, broken, scarred and polarized?  What are the stories our culture and society continue to tell to justify the sufferings and injustice that so many people are experiencing?   This retreat will provide an opportunity to explore ways to retell the stories in a different way so that our perceptions of one another have the potential to change how we relate to one another.  We will also reflect upon the ways we are challenged to be a person of hope not only for ourselves, but also for others.

                            “We have the power to recreate both culture itself and our place within it.”
