Friday, October 4th to Sunday, October 6th at SSUC Edmonton
TOGETHER NOT ALONE is a weekend retreat where you will experience community connection, deepening conversations, good food, and an array of all-ages activities.
This weekend (or a part of it) is for you if you’d like to have an opportunity for connection and conversations that go deeper than what can happen in a few minutes on a Sunday! There will be moments for adult deepening connection, as well as activities that are appropriate for any age.
Registrations for MEALS are closed but join us for the CONGREGATIONAL POTLUCK on Sunday. THANK YOU for volunteering!
FEEL FREE to DROP-IN on SATURDAY 5th, 1:30-4:30pm for the Activity Time:
(Nature Walk, Circle Dance, Rhythm or Singing Circle, Art Project, Bread Making) No registration needed for this activity time!
You’ll have an opportunity to explore:
- sharing some of your spiritual journey
- casual conversation to meet new folks
- take a short nature walk
- experience circle dancing
- learn or sing favourite songs
- participate in a rhythm circle
- experience a spiritual process of bread making
- have some low-key time for an art project
The retreat will conclude by joining the entire SSUC community for the Spiritual Gathering on Sunday followed by a potluck lunch. Whether we’re from Edmonton, Saskatoon, or anywhere else, we are truly “Together, Not Alone” as the SSUC community!
