"Nonviolence is a way of life for courageous people" - Dr. M. L. King, Jr.

Reflection and Renewal...for the long haul

"Conversations with Tom Gumbleton”

September 23/24/25 at the beautiful R.A.McMullan Conference Center

in Roscommon, Michigan on Higgans Lake

STAYING FAITHFUL TO THE PEACE MOVEMENT WHEN HOPES ARE DASHED, POSITIVE ACTIONS ARE STALLED,
WHEN YOUR “ONE STEP FORWARD” IS MET WITH “TWO STEPS BACK”. WHERE DO WE FIND OUR SUSTENANCE? HOW DO WE NURTURE OURSELVES AND ONE ANOTHER?

What is a Retreat?:   A retreat is a time away from our ordinary activities in order to focus on our purpose. In the brief moments when we allow ourselves to stop and “be”, we notice how few of our moments are lived consciously. A retreat provides refreshment, enlightenment, and a new consciousness of the meaning of living life while embracing the direction the Spirit gives to each of us.

We hope you can join us for this wonderful weekend!

WE'VE ATTEMPTED TO KEEP COSTS TO A MINIMUM. WE HOPE THIS WILL HELP MEET YOUR PERSONAL NEEDS FOR RENEWAL!
