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: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: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:Reading: The Last Straw by Bryant Holsenbeck

SUMMARY:Dust Bunnies & Sparrows: A Reading and Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Sparrows bathe in dust to absorb the oil that would collect on their wings and keep them from flying. This is a reminder\, from nature\, that healing and wholeness can be found even in the most unlikely places. Kimberly Gaubault (McCrae) is a 20+ year survivor/victim of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault. Her book\, Dust Bunnies and Sparrows: A Poetic Declaration of Liberation from/through Domestic Violence\, is how she has chosen to tell her story to break the silence and shame of a truth that has impacted her life in challenging ways\, but she has not permitted it to keep her from soaring.  Come witness this survivor’s/victim’s declaration of liberation\, through poetry and storytelling. The writing workshop portion of our time together will provide tools for writing/telling your story and opportunities to share. The book will be available for purchase for $10\, or you can order it on Amazon for $15. \nLeader: Kimberly Gaubault (McCrae) is an intentional lover of humanity and actively lives the self-care life about which she teaches and advocates. Her personal philosophy of interpersonal interaction is\, “If I’ve not positively influenced someone everywhere I’ve gone\, I’ve not walked in my purpose.”

SUMMARY:Reading: Georgann Eubanks
DESCRIPTION:Telling the stories of twelve North Carolina heritage foods\, each matched to the month of its peak readiness for eating\, in The Month of Their Ripening: North Carolina Heritage Foods Through the Year\, Georgann Eubanks takes readers on a flavorful journey across the state. She begins in January with the most ephemeral of southern ingredients-snow-to witness Tar Heels making snow cream. In March\, she takes a midnight canoe ride on the Trent River in search of shad\, a bony fish with a savory history. In November\, she visits a Chatham County sawmill where the possums are always first into the persimmon trees. Talking with farmers\, fishmongers\, cooks\, historians\, and scientists\, Eubanks looks at how foods are deeply tied to the culture of the Old North State.\n\n\nCost: Free and open to the public.\nContact: RCWMS\, 919-683-1236\, events@rcwms.org.

SUMMARY:Feminist Advent: A Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Let’s be inspired by the themes of this season – light in the darkness\, expectation\, hope – and write from our hearts. We’ll write from prompts about the Divine Feminine\, nature\, and feminist readings of the Christmas story. As we write and share in community\, we’ll nurture our whole selves and honor any difficult or complicated feelings that may come up during the holiday season (especially for those of us dealing with recent or not-so-recent loss). No writing experience necessary. All faiths welcome. \nLeader: Rebecca Welper has an MFA in playwriting and has taught expressive writing since 2005.\nCost: $10-$25 sliding scale.\nContact: rebecca@rcwms.org.

SUMMARY:Reading & Book Launch for The Last Straw by Bryant Holsenbeck
DESCRIPTION:Join RCWMS in celebrating the publication of The Last Straw: A Continuing Quest for Life Without Disposable Plastic. Environmental artist Bryant Holsenbeck had long wondered where trash goes when we throw it “away.” Realizing that what we discard never really goes away\, she became concerned about all the disposable plastic that piles up in landfills and clogs our streams. Bryant began saying NO to single-use plastic\, and she spent a year discovering ways to live without it. This book documents her journey and the creative alternatives she found. \nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Doing Our Own Work: An Anti-Racism Seminar for White People
DESCRIPTION:Part 1: September 6\, 7\, 8\, 9 – Pilgrim United Church of Christ\, Durham\, NC \nPart 2: October 11\, 12\, 13\, 14 – Trinity Ave. Presbyterian Church\, 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 facilitator is 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.Leader: 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.
