Cross Bearers in the Current Climate: Create Space for Self Care
Throughout Holy Week we have shared examples of cross bearers from the Transformative Global Leadership Conference held in 2024 and hope these have been inspiring as you consider your own commitment to being a force for good, especially in this current climate when resources that undergird underserved communities are being eliminated.
As someone involved in this work, you know burnout is inevitable without intentional self care.
Self care is important for everyone, yet essential for people who work for justice and equity, who work to improve the lives of their neighbors and infuse their communities with joy.
Creative expression and meditation are pathways to renewal and sources of energy for the journey.
Soul Work Director Rev. Linda Furtado has designed several experiences for your self care, contemplation and renewal that include a self guided tour of our campus labyrinth which will remain lit through Easter Sunday; an opportunity to make art and immerse yourself in the Stations of the Cross; and to remember who and whose you are during a sunrise celebration of Easter followed by a breakfast in Susie Gray Dining Hall.
Learn more and enjoy the radical hospitality that is Scarritt Bennett.
