A Journey to Allyship & Uncolonization
March 12-17, 2024

For five days, retreat participants will attend presentations by Cherokee tribal members on a variety of topics centered around Cherokee spirituality. The legends, language, sense of place, history, culture, connection and food will slowly reveal the depth of the Cherokee spirituality and offer participants a background to reflect on their own expression of spiritual growth. The times of prayer and theological reflection will integrate the learning with the participant’s own life experience.
