THE GATHERING! - AWAKENING THE SPIRIT!
November 20th-22nd, 2009
Walker Creek Conference Center - Petaluma, California
The NIA Gathering is both a rejuvenating annual weekend retreat and a unique opportunity to gather as a community of Black same gender loving women to embrace our vital role as Ritual Keepers and Community Builders!
The retreat unfolds at Walker Creek Conference Center in Petaluma, California (50 miles northwest of Oakland). The conference center is a series of meeting spaces and lodging nestled within 1,741 acres acres of rolling hills and 20 miles of Hiking trails, a shimmering pond, & a meandering creek.
The weekend will give us time to understand, to re-awaken, to heal, to rejoice, to rest, and to return to our lives with powerful insights.
Through drumming circles, breath work, chanting, writing, journeying, dancing, creative expression, ceremony, altar work and the celebration of our connection with the universe - we will deepen our understanding of how we are connected and awaken the spirit within!
