“We are all unshakably good - no exceptions. We belong to each other - with no exceptions.”
We are honored to welcome Father Gregory Boyle of Homeboy Industries. Drawing from his work and his newest book Cherished Belonging: The Healing Power of Love in Divided Times, he will invite us into a deeper practice of kinship, healing, and the sacred truth that we belong to one another. This one day retreat will help us nurture the connections that are all around us and invite us to live with love and kindness. Fr Greg believes “that people change when they are cherished, and that cherishing is love with its sleeves rolled up.”
Fr Greg also teaches that we are called to the ministry of compassion. We’re called to share in one another’s suffering and help carry one another’s burdens. He says that “the answer to every question is, indeed, compassion.” He shares that compassion is a shift in our own perception, and doesn’t just involve intervention, but seeing people clearly.
Fr Greg will be bringing along two homies from the Homeboy Industries program who will share their own experiences of love and transformation. There will also be a question and reflection time for attendees to respond to all that they have been invited to.
