SUMMARY:Ministry of Black Women's Self Care\, February\, 2024 - with Kim Gaubault (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Kim Gaubault recognizes that self-care is often the component that remains a form of intervention (after the break or the medical emergency) rather than a preventative measure. When we allow our bodies\, minds and/or spirits to break down in the course of doing this work\, we are not only putting ourselves at risk but we are putting at risk the integrity of the work for which we are laboring. This work is a work of self-love\, communal love\, Womanist Ethicism\, it is multi-generational\, multicultural and is not finite\, but is instead as infinite as the beauty in the divinity that is Blackness. Come and share in this life’s work! This program is specifically designed to offer practical tools for everyday self-care to Black women-identified individuals doing all forms of ministry\, in church and community. \nFebruary: Family Matters: Black Women Loving Through It All\nMarch: Black Love Goals: Loving the Skin We’re In\n \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.” \nCost: $10\, $25\, or $40 \nper session. Choose the price that fits your budget. \nRegister for February below. \nRegister for March: HERE. \nRegistrants will receive a Zoom link in the automated ticket confirmation.

SUMMARY:Pockets of Grace: Reading with Heidi Gessner (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:“Gessner’s highly accessible account of her spiritual awakening and journey into hospital chaplaincy offers insightful lessons for everyone\, those with and without formal religious beliefs. She bravely pursued her path despite the skepticism of her artsy\, intellectual\, and agnostic family and friends. Her perceptions alert us to the meaning and depth available to us all\, even in life’s most quotidian moments—like hearing geese honking as they travel overhead or finding feathers on a path. Her reflection questions at the end of each chapter are little jewels for revelation and personal growth.”\n–Carol Henderson \nJoin author Heidi Gessner in conversation with writer Carol Henderson. \nIn this RCWMS book reading we’ll use Heidi Gessner’s memoir\, Pockets of Grace: Lessons from Darkness\, Lessons from Light\, as a prompt for discussion about the deeply personal nature of our universe. Gessner illustrates how our magical cosmos wants to connect with you and support you. Join us to hear what it has to tell you. \nYou’ll discover how even in turbulent times\, you are never truly alone. There are unseen forces carrying and shaping you\, sending signs – unpredictable coincidences and synchronicities to care for and connect with you. \nAuthor: Heidi Gessner is an ordained United Church of Christ minister\, spiritual counselor\, and grief coach\, who served as the palliative care and bereavement clinical chaplain for UNC Hospitals for nearly 20 years. Heidi is also the author of Pockets of Grace: Lessons from Darkness\, Lessons from Light\, which is both a memoir about her spiritual awakening during her father’s terminal lung cancer\, and a modern-day guide for coping with grief and loss. Heidi is the founder of Indigo Grief Flow: Path to a New Beginning\, her signature system that provides support for individuals navigating loss or in transition. \n  \n \nCost: Free. Registration is required. \nPurchase the book: HERE. \nPlease REGISTER by selecting a free ticket below. Registrants will receive a Zoom link in the automated ticket confirmation.

SUMMARY:Winter Forest Bathing Walk
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS AT CAPACITY. PLEASE CLICK ON THE 2ND TICKET BELOW TO BE PUT ON A WAITING LIST. ALSO\, PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR ADDITIONAL FOREST BATHING EVENTS. \nLet’s relish the stark beauty of the winter woods with a Forest Bathing Walk at The Trees Retreat Center\, a 50-acre wooded property with a beautiful mid-century modern home nestled amidst the rolling hills just outside Durham\, NC.

No skill required. Dress to be outside for 2+ hours – bring a throw or shawl for extra warmth. Limited to 10. Open to ages 12 and above. \nLeader: Elizabeth Newman is a Forest Bathing Guide certified by the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy. For questions about Forest Bathing or The Trees Retreat Center  contact Elizabeth at EQNewman27@gmail.com. Elizabeth is offering additional Forest Bathing walks this winter and spring. \nMarch 3 Walk Sunday March 3 1:00 – 3:00\nEquinox Walk Tuesday March 19 3:00 – 5:00\nApril 7 Walk Sunday April 7 1:00 – 3:00 \nPlease contact Elizabeth at EQNewman27@gmail.com  if you have mobility limitations.\n\nCost: Free.
