Growing Hope & Interrupting Grieving

The day will explore how individuals & faith communities can cultivate authentic belonging for persons with disabilities (visible and invisible), a series of discussions around accessibility, inclusion, belonging, intersecting with the Gospel teaching of Agape, healing and cures. Discovering how faith communities can interrupt the perpetual grieving individuals and families with disabilities are in due to constantly living in “lack & deficiency” to prove worth of supports, to become places authentic belonging for all.  

It will be a commute one day retreat, with lunch and snacks included (coffee/tea) included.
