This retreat is designed with creation care professionals, volunteers, lay leaders, and clergy in mind. Whether you're new to creation care or a long-time advocate, you'll gain new language and tools to inspire your congregation and community to care for the environment (people, non-human creatures, and the planet) interwoven with space for rest, relationship, and prayer.
