October 27th-28th, 2023

The stories we tell are the stories we live. What story do you want to live?

Right now, in this moment, we’re cultivating storytellers to lead the way towards connection, reconciliation and wholeness. Let’s stimulate our imaginations, curate a life worth living and imagine alternative possible futures.

To shift the cultural narrative to reflect the hopeful, restorative, love filled story of God, we have to start cultivating storytellers. What’s your story?

Retreat 2023
