Apr. 11, 2008 — Apr. 12, 2008
The Beloved Community Center staff, board, and some volunteers went to Dudley Inn in Kernersville for a weekend of retreat, deepening our relationships to one another and our commitment to the work. During the course of our day and a half retreat, over 35 board members, staff members, volunteers, and community partners joined our circle of discussion. We truly had an intergenerational gathering, from 16 year old teens to almost 80 year old seniors. Everybody's contribution was so meaningful and so important, including written reports, rich working group discussions, spiritual practices, sharing personal stories, poetry, music and priceless bonding and fellowship.
