Based on Kaitlin Curtice’s new book Living Resistance: An Indigenous Vision for Seeking Wholeness Every Day (Baker Books, March 2023), Kaitlin will facilitate this weekend retreat based on the four realms of resistance: Personal, Communal, Ancestral, and Integral. We will spend time conversing in small and large groups, journaling, and have private time to spend in beautiful seaside surroundings to reflect and integrate. A book signing with the author will follow the retreat on Sunday.
For this weekend program, Mercy by the Sea is delighted to collaborate with the Institute for American Indian Studies Museum and Research Center (IAIS) in Washington, CT, whose educators will be in attendance and be invited to provide optional experiential activities during participants’ private time. IAIS preserves and educates through discovery and creativity the diverse traditions, vitality and knowledge of Native American Cultures. https://www.iaismuseum.org/
