An Emergent Women's Gathering

Round Barn Retreat: An Emergent Women’s Gathering
Saturday-Sunday, April 29-30, 2006
The Round Barn Inn Bed & Breakfast, McCordsville, Indiana

Using the barn-raising metaphor inspired by our location, emergent women are gathering this Spring for a spiritual barn-raisin'! Metaphorically, we will 'clear our space' (share our histories, pain, and triumphs), 'set a new foundation' (envision a church or faith community that opens up and supports our experiencing God and God's creation more fully), and then - RAISE THAT BARN (give our vision 'legs'; put our dreams and hopes into action). Among the things we hope to accomplish is a publication by and for emergent women and a solid network for communication and community.

The schedule includes contemplative prayer times, the three major blocs of dialogue/discernment/smaller group discussion, as well as an evening time of sharing our personal gifts and passions and expertise. All details have not been finalized, but we anticipate the cost to be approximately $75 and includes three meals. (Housing not included; rates in Indy run $48 and up.) Registration will be limited to the first 50 women. [If we are overwhelmed with response, a second event is likely.]
