“Peace Begins with Me” Retreat

Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on September 21. The United Nations General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, through observing 24 hours of non-violence and cease-fire. Come join Brother Mark Schroeder for a weekend retreat the last weekend of August in preparation as Peace-keepers. We will celebrate 45 hours together in an atmosphere of non-violence. And we will reflect about the importance of the peaceful “cease-fires” we need for our Self, our family and friends, our community circles, our nation, and our world. Brother Mark will blend Creation-Centered Spirituality, 12-Step spirituality, and Franciscan values – through Scripture, art, silence, dialogue, contemplation, and relaxation.
