Mormon Matters is hosting a 2.5-day retreat, 26 - 28 August. What will it be like? Who are we hoping will join in? How does this retreat differ from other one hosted under the auspices of the Open Stories Foundation? Will this retreat not only be informative, restorative, connective--but also FUN? Even if you cannot make it to this Mormon Matters retreat, "Navigating a Healthy Mormon Journey," in August, perhaps you will want to learn about them in general in anticipation of joining in the experience another time. (Plans will be announced soon for quarterly Mormon Matters and other OSF retreats or events.) Perhaps you know of friends or family members who are really struggling right now with relationships in their lives that have been strained by their entrances into faith journeys that are leading them to territory that is scary for them and those who love them--and you sense they might benefit from this retreat. Perhaps you know that you or they might be strengthened from making friends who are on similar journeys, who are also struggling with communication, who could benefit from new and enriching ways to understand what they are going through, and who want tips for interacting with others as their authentic selves, including on Sundays and in other church settings. There are lots of reasons to listen to this short conversation between Mormon Matters host and convener of this retreat, Dan Wotherspoon, Ph.D., and the retreat leader, Natasha Helfer Parker, LCMFT, CST. See links on the website for details about how and where to register and who to contact with questions. We hope to hear from you and then see you beginning on the 26th!
