WWFOR Fall Retreat

Registration forms: Word / PDF

Western Washington Fellowship of Reconciliation, like other peace and justice organizations, has been affected by the events of the wider world. This year's Fall Retreat will be a time for us to reflect and share our journey both personal and as an organization. We will look at ways to strengthen our fellowship. We will seek to discover and name that creative legacy we hope to leave for our children. We will dream of and - start to design -- a new vision that will energize WWFOR for the future. We stand at a crossroads in our history. Now is the time for us to reclaim the power to change our world. It is time to think outside the box. As Albert Einstein said, "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."

Mahatma Gandhi was speaking to us when he said, " You must be the change you wish to see in the world". Bring a friend who is also passionate about building a sustainable peace and justice movement. This year's WWFOR Fall Retreat will empower us to accomplish even more.
