You Won’t Break My Soul: Spiritual Wellness Retreat
On Saturday, October 1, 2022, we held our very first Spiritual Wellness Retreat - themed You Won’t Break My Soul: Reclaiming Our Spirituality - at the McCormick Theological Seminary. In workshops led by our Spiritual Wellness partners (Pastor Charles Straight, Rev. Don Abram and Dr. Ulysses Burley) as well as other community leaders (Pastor Jamie Frazier of the Lighthouse Church of Chicago and Thayer Johnson, MSW, LSCW), the Retreat provided attendees with the opportunity to fellowship, unpack and explore spirituality in a safe space without fear of ridicule or judgment.
Feedback from attendee surveys:
“I enjoyed everything about this event. Everyone was very open and friendly - It was truly a safe place to share experiences…and the food was amazing! Top class!!!”
“It was a place where all became one. Regardless of our respective backgrounds, we have all gone through/are going through something yet there is hope and blessings!”
“I enjoyed the spiritual energy among people who may or may not have known each other coming together for self development. Dr. Keith Green, Pastor Straight, and the many others produced a well organized event."
