(10 minutes from ETSU's campus)
A weekend retreat based in the work of Francis Weller facilitated by Carrie De Martini and Carl Bello.
"To honor our grief, to grant it space and time in our frantic world, is to fulfill a covenant with soul – to welcome all that is, thereby granting room for our most authentic life.”
— Francis Weller

MEET YOUR FACILITATORS:
