Heart and Hearth: A Writing Retreat for Women
January 11- 13, 2019
$250. Scholarships available.
Facilitators: Kate Foran, Joyce Hollyday, and Lydia Wylie-Kellermann
 Skyline Retreat Center ( 5650 Sandhill Road, Almont MI, 4800 )

In the heart of winter, come nurture your spirit at a hearth of warmth and creativity. This retreat is for women of all ages who want to take some time apart to reflect, write, and sit among a circle of supportive sisters. We will keep a rhythm of solitude and gathering, with space to share with one another what we’re writing, for those who would like to. Writing prompts will be provided for those who want them. No writing experience is required. You are welcome whether you want to take a first step toward putting words on paper or are in the throes of writing the next best-selling novel or book of poetry. There’s sure to be fun and feasting, stories and songs to keep us warm around the fire as well.

WHO WE ARE

The cornerstones Word and World have been a series of ecumenical and inclusive schools that integrate the insights and experiences of “seminary, sanctuary, and street”:  the first school in Greensboro, NC, focused on the legacies of the civil rights movement;  the second in Tucson, AR, centered on the philosophies and practices of liberation theology;  the third school in Philadelphia, PA highlighted the struggles of the peace movement; and the fourth school in Rochester, NY focused on the social, economic, and ecclesiastical changes  engendered by faith-based feminist, womanist, mujerista, and LGBT movements.  Subsequent schools in Memphis, TN and Tar Heel, NC drew on the tradition of faith and labor organizing for economic justice.  The legacy of these “streams” informed the Mentoring Program curriculum. In partnership with Bartimaeus Cooperative, Word and World offers the daily blog www.radicaldiscipleship.net, a daily-updated blog focused on telling stories about what is happening on the ground among faith communities that actively yearn for a world defined by peace, justice and dignity for every living being.
