Rooted in Your Soul, Flowing from Your Heart:
A Two-Part Online Retreat Supporting Justice & Equity Work that is Authentic and Anchored
Saturday, February 24
Two Parts/Sessions (participants can sign up for one or both)
Cost: $25 for one session/$50 for both

So many of us want to bring healing to our society and our hurting planet.
But sometimes when you try to engage, you may end up feeling uneasy and uncertain about the best way for you to contribute.
Maybe you’re torn because you see and feel so many different ways that people are hurting. You only have so much energy–how do you choose? And how do you deal with the guilt over everything you’re leaving undone?
Or maybe you feel pressured by others to use tactics that don’t sit well with your soul. You want to do what’s right and effective, and you’re willing to sit with your own discomfort as you lean more deeply into justice and equity work. But how do you tell the difference between healthy discomfort and violating your own soul’s wisdom?
In this single day retreat, you’ll learn spiritual practices and contemporary coaching exercises to help you get more involved in justice and equity work in a way that feels natural and sustainable for you. It is led by UU minister and shamanic practitioner, Rev. Laura Horton-Ludwig.
