This retreat is an extended meditation on our connections to self, one another, the Creation and God, as we emerge from this season of distress.  Using these unstable times as a place for spiritual  research and development, we explore what is holding together, and what is coming apart. The Holy Strings are those things that bring us together through our differences and disagreements, into places where we know and honor our needs for One Another. Participants will be encouraged on how to  get started on their own long term connections. Not at all something to be accomplished during the retreat… but more to get going.  The hope of the presenter, Kathryn Rickert, is  to keep in touch and connect with each other at some point in the future to share what has unfolded for them.
