SUMMARY:Holistic Enneagram: A Spirituality of Head\, Heart\, and Body
DESCRIPTION:What would you say if I told you that you have more than one brain—that your heart and your gut both have their own intrinsic nervous systems? They have neurons that can take on information\, store it\, change\, and adapt. Your head\, heart\, and gut are the components of your human mind\, and the Enneagram can help you better listen to all of them. Join other women and nonbinary folks under 40 for this 1-hour overview of the Nine Enneagram Personality Types\, and consider joining a four-week class this July that will cover: Triads and Resource Points\, Ego Defense Mechanisms of Type\, Instinctual Subtypes\, and Deepening Spiritual Awareness. \nLeader: The Rev. Adrienne Koch is the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina’s Young Adult Missioner and Campus Minister for the Raleigh Area and a spiritual formation leader at Duke Divinity School. She has studied under teachers in the Narrative Tradition of the Enneagram for the last 7 years to become a spiritual director where she uses the Enneagram as a guide for spiritual transformation and renewal. \nAdrienne received her B.A. in Liberal Arts from Malone University in Ohio in 2004\, with concentrations in Theology\, Psychology\, and Communications\, and completed her M.Div. with a certificate of Gender\, Theology\, and Ministry from Duke Divinity School. She completed a two-year non-degree Anglican program for Theological Studies at Sewanee in TN\, and a chaplain residency at the VA Health Care System in Durham where she was part of a fellowship program that provided emotional intelligence simulations for medical professionals. Adrienne and her wife\, Jennifer\, reside in Raleigh with their son and yellow lab. \nCost: $10. Registration for this workshop is open to those under 40.\nContact: meghan@rcwms.org \n

SUMMARY:What If? A Writing Workshop with Carol Henderson
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, 7-9 pm\, Saturday\, 9:30 am-3:30 pm\n\nIn a private home with a cat\, Durham\, NC \nIn this workshop\, we will consider several big “What if’s?” from our lives\, like: “What if my father had lived?” “What if I hadn’t taken that street that night?” “What if I decide to . . .?” Using selective prompts and aspects of craft\, we will write alternative narratives for ourselves\, realities that might have been\, but weren’t—that might happen\, but haven’t yet. Come prepared to write a lot and to leave with deeper insight and fresh perspective on your life as well as plenty of material for further inquiry and writing. Bring a bag lunch. Coffee\, tea\, and snacks provided. For women only. \nLeader: Carol Henderson is a writer\, editor\, workshop leader\, and the author of Losing Malcolm\, and Farther Along: The Writing Journey of Thirteen Bereaved Mothers\, and editor of Wide Open Spaces: Call Stories.

SUMMARY:What Will You Do With the Rest of Your Life? A Retreat for Women in the Second Half of Life
DESCRIPTION:Feminist Betty Friedan said\, “Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength.” As we age\, our priorities often change\, we become more discerning\, we seek ways we can be more authentically ourselves. Many of us ask: “Where can we be useful?” “What is our purpose?” “What does it mean to be wise?” “Who are we when we are not what we used to do?” Life is a constant process of refining who we are. This daylong retreat will offer time to reflect on who and where we have been as women and the opportunities that open to us as we age. We invite you to come listen to your own hearts and yearnings and to other wise women seeking authenticity and wholeness. \nLeaders: Pat Boswell went back to school after retiring from a thirty-year career in employee relations\, training\, and communications. She obtained a MDiv and was ordained by the United Church of Christ. She has worked in hospital chaplaincy and in Hospice and palliative care of Greensboro.\nTerry Moore-Painter is a retired hospital chaplain who incorporated art and creativity into her spiritual work with oncology patients. Ordained in the United Church of Christ\, she continues to offer spiritual direction\, workshops\, and retreats. \nPlease\, bring a bag lunch. Snacks/dessert will be provided. \nLocation: A comfortable house in Durham with a cat. \nContact: RCWMS\, 919-683-1236\, events@rcwms.org

SUMMARY:Doing Our Own Work: An Anti Racism Workshop for White People
DESCRIPTION:Part 1: March 28-31\, 2019 – Durham\, NC\, Durham\, NC \nPart 2: April 25-28\, 2019\, Durham\, NC \n7-9 pm Thurs. evening\, 9-5 on Friday\, 9-5 on Saturday\, and 1-5 Sunday afternoon \nParticipation in all sessions is required. \nAt this time in our nation\, we are witnessing an alarming resurgence of white supremacy and state sanctioned violence. It is imperative that white people do the deep work required to claim and embody an anti-racist identity\, understand the privilege they carry\, and interrupt racism where they live\, work\, study\, and volunteer. Doing Our Own Work helps white people move through places where they often get stuck\, so that they can step up with courage\, humility\, and compassion to participate in movements led by people of color and help move other white people to greater anti-racist awareness and action. Enrollment is limited to 20 people to facilitate in-depth reflection\, dialogue\, and community.  \nDoing Our Own Work is designed as a supplement to\, not a substitute for\, contexts where people of diverse races discuss and strategize together how racism can be challenged and dismantled.  \nAnti-racist action and reflection form the heart of Doing Our Own Work. Each participant is invited to identify a “sphere of influence” that serves as the focus of action and reflection. Utilizing input from the leaders\, reading assignments\, videos\, group discussion\, and structured exercises\, we will explore the following topics and issues: \n\nThe four realms of racism and change: personal\, interpersonal\, institutional\, and cultural\nHistorical roots of racism in the U.S.\nMovements for racial justice in the U.S.\nWhite privilege and unearned advantage\nClaiming and shaping an anti-racist identity\nPracticing the skills of interrupting racism\nStrategies for institutional change\nDeveloping networks of support and accountability\n\nThe facilitators are committed to working with the participants to create a respectful and truth-telling environment where we may bring our whole selves to this vitally important work. For additional history and rationale\, see “Why an Anti-Racism Seminar for White People?“ \nThis event is gender inclusive. \nLeaders: Melanie S. Morrison\, Ph.D.\, is founder and executive director of Allies for Change\, a national network of anti-oppression educators. As an anti-racism educator\, activist\, and author\, she has 30 years experience designing and facilitating transformational group process. In 1994\, she founded Doing Our Own Work\, an intensive anti-racism seminar for white people that has attracted hundreds of participants throughout the United States and Canada. Passionate about writing\, her latest book\, Murder on Shades Mountain: The Legal Lynching of Willie Peterson and the Struggle for Justice in Jim Crow Birmingham\, was published by Duke University Press in March. Melanie believes it is possible to grow ever more aware of the depth and complexity of injustice without surrendering our capacity for compassion\, joy\, and hope. Jax Lee Gardner (they/them/theirs) is the Center Manager of the Arcus Center for Social Justice Leadership in Kalamazoo\, Michigan. Jax has spent the last twenty-plus years working in social justice movements\, both personally and professionally. Originally from Washington\, DC\, Jax holds a Master’s Degree in English Literature from Western Michigan University\, a Bachelor’s Degree from the College of Charleston\, and is a professional Birth Doula. They previously held an ACSJL Staff Fellowship (2015) examining doula care as a vehicle for community-based anti-racist activism. Jax’s social justice trajectory has closely followed issues of health and economic justice for women and children (particularly as they intersect with queerness and racial justice). Jax also founded the St. Luke’s Diaper Bank to help combat diaper need in the City of Kalamazoo. When they’re not busy fighting the good fight\, Jax relishes in spending quality time with their partner and two children.
