Siena Retreat Center – ‘Strengthening Communities in Need: Spirit-Filled Approaches’
In light of increased crime, violence and poverty in urban areas, what does it take to strengthen a community? Care of body, mind, soul-spirit, and community relationships are all part of building and restoring neighborhood well-being and social change. On February 20th, 2018, from 6:30-8:30pm at Siena Retreat Center in Racine, WI, the executive directors of two centers in Milwaukee will share the stories of people who come to their centers in need, those learning to engage as neighbors, and those they train as mentors. Their programs address immediate needs, literacy, household budgeting, GED and computer education, gardening and home-building, and community development. Within all of this is group sharing and personal care for the spirits and spirituality of those who come.
