Rev. Dr. Geoff Hayes & Claire Cox-Woodlief Co-Leading
Be Curious, Not Judgmental Retreat
at St. Francis Springs Prayer Center, 477 Grogan Rd., Stoneville, NC
In the ways of Walt Whitman, we hope you will join us in working towards curiosity – an opening of our mind to new ideas, new possibilities and new understandings. We don’t have to agree with ideas, opinions or behaviors that we find troublesome, but healthy curiosity can help move us to deeper compassion. This retreat will help each of recognize some of the judgmental parts of ourselves. Cost is $300. Please call St. Francis Springs Prayer Center (336) 573-3751 for reservations.


August 7-9
Latercha McKnight & Claire Cox-Woodlief Co-Leading
A Path to Racial Healing Retreat
St. Francis Springs Prayer Center, 477 Grogan Rd., Stoneville, NC
You are invited to participate in a contemplative retreat as we explore practical ways to have sacred and brave conversations towards ending racism. This retreat is for clergy and laity who hunger for a deep spiritual experience and who are interested in joining God in becoming agents of reconciliation. We will engage with biblical texts regarding equitable treatment of all God’s people, and we will learn about the mythological construction of race and the reality of racism in America and in the church. The hardest step in the healing process is coming to the table. We will engage in real conversation, asking difficult questions-and hearing difficult answers.

This retreat will include prayer, study, worship, and fellowship. We will spend time each day in silence, written and spoken word, prayer, worship and community sharing. Cost is $300.00. Please call St. Francis Springs Prayer Center (336) 573-3751 for reservations.
