July 11th – 13th – Growing Resilience Together: An Ecogrief Retreat: “”Growing Resilience Together – An Ecogrief Retreat” is an adult-only opportunity to acknowledge the emotional depths of our eco-grief.  There will be time to spend with yourself, to share with others in a safe communally held space, to be with what is – fully – in these times of converging crises and uncertainty. Lay facilitators Melanie Hoffman (GGN Flow facilitator), Chris Peet, and Nathan Binnema, will create a container for you to explore and experience our full range of feeling and expression, and host activities based in the work of How to Live in a Chaotic Climate, the Work that Reconnects, and other rituals. Expect opportunities to laugh, cry, relax, open up, nourish, and connect with yourself and nature.”
