Spring Retreat - Roots: Belonging & Beloved, April 10-12, 2026
Sponsored By: St. Luke’s Church Canterbury Club & the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio
Retreat Leader: Rev. Dr. Bertice Berry
College-aged young adults, come Away for a weekend of connection, creativity, laughter and rest, rooted in the simple truth that you belong, and you are beloved.
This retreat invites you to explore storytelling as a gentle, life-giving practice. Through guided reflection, shared listening, and creative exercises, we'll discover how our stories connect us to our roots, ourselves, and to one another.
We hope you will leave empowered to be the author of your story!
