A Quaker, a Christian and a Pagan went out for a walk…
At a time when different groups are separated by mistrust and rivalry, we invite you to come together with Gembrook Retreat folks and Dr Colm McNaughton for a story-sharing journey around three stones on the land.
Themes that will be covered include:
An explanation of the histories and complexities of the Celtic Church.
A visitation to the three stones that have become guardian stones for us, at Gembrook Retreat.
The sharing of stories of the three Christian saints from the early Gaelic church who incorporated elements of pagan nature-connection practice into their Christianity - St Brendan, St Brigid and St Colmcille.
Discussions around the Bunyip in the room, that is, ‘finding our roots’ while living on stolen land.
A combined Gembrook Retreat and Singing Blackbird event
Cost sliding scale: $60/$40/$20
Workshop Time: 2pm - 5pm
You are welcome to BYO lunch to share together from 12:30pm, and stay on for a cuppa at the end.
Venue: Gembrook Retreat Meeting House
Wurundjeri/Bunurong Country
