Spring 2021 Online Retreat
Our Spring Retreat will be virtual this year. Registration fee will only be $30.
Saturday, June 5, 2021 at 10:30 AM – 6 PM Eastern time
Our keynote speaker is Nan Lundeen.
Nan’s spiritual roots run directly into Mother Earth, and her writing life has focused on honoring, celebrating, and advocating for Earth, our home. Gretchen Ohmann, Co-convener, Continental Unitarian Universalist Women and Religion, describes Nan’s book of ecopoetry, Gaia’s Cry: “Nan’s collection speaks of all the glorious aspects of Mother Earth and her inhabitants, the heartbreak at her destruction, and hope—elusive hope—in the courage of individuals, and the magic of seeds.” Nan’s ecopoems and essays are published on the sabbats at Patheos.com and her poetry and fiction in literary journals.
She welcomes opportunities to nurture nature writing, such as creating a student-written newsletter at Brookview Montessori School in Benton Harbor, MI, which her grandson attends, and where lower elementary students report on their environment and how to be better stewards of Earth.
During her 30 years as an award-winning newspaper reporter, she informed the public about environmental issues at every opportunity.
