2026 Fall Associates Weekend

Try a little kindness
We are sure it’s a country song, sung by someone, somewhere. That said, our world needs more kindness. It is in the quality and experience of our relationships that love and grace are given and received. Whether in the church, or across the fence on the lane behind our house, conversations, agreements, contests, arguments, negotiations, storytelling all facilitate the building of community. Now, arguably more than ever, we need to celebrate and embody kindness in all our relationships, including our relationship with the earth, God’s fragile, island home. Join us on this work weekend to explore kindness, a much under-rated activity
