Join your colleagues to share a two-day, peaceful time of renewal, collegiality and programming in the beautiful hills near Wheeling, West Virginia. We will have worship, workshop, time for chatting by the fireside with friends and colleagues, and free time for walks, rest, board games, bead table, yoga and movies. Our program topic is an exploration of story-telling led by colleague and storyteller extraordinaire, Rich Roberts.
Learn how to present a story that grabs and inspires people of all ages! Please bring a story that you believe has potential, a story you would like to explore for an all-ages presentation.
Rich Roberts has served the Unitarian Universalist Church of Akron as director of religious education for thirteen years and plays in the church’s jazz band. He holds a bachelor’s degree in General Studies from Kent State UniversityRetreat Schedule
