June 17, 2026, Adrian, Michigan – If you find yourself longing for certainty, you are not alone. But what might it look like to remain in the present with courage and grace? The Circle of Trust Retreat invites you to attend to what is as we notice the gifts that arise in the liminal place.
Finding Courage and Grace in Liminal Spaces: A Circle of Trust Retreat is hosted at Weber Retreat and Conference Center from 4:00 p.m. Friday, August 14, 2026, through 1:00 p.m. Sunday, August 16, 2026. This retreat offers foundational touchstones that steady us in trustworthy relationships; solitude and community to notice how we hold moments of transition woven into the seasons of our lives; silence that creates space for quiet wisdom; and spaciousness for creatively honoring what is revealed.
The retreat is offered by the Center for Courage and Renewal, whose mission is to “nurture deep integrity and relational trust, building the foundation for a more loving, equitable, and healthy world.”
Facilitators are Kirstin Anglea and Sophia Lloyd. Kirstin became a facilitator with the Center for Courage and Renewal in 2014. She leads Circle of Trust retreats in a variety of formats for all who yearn to live an undivided life. Sophia is guided by the belief that tending to our inner lives makes us more available for the outer work the world asks of us. Share the event flyer (PDF).
The cost – including materials, supplies, meals, snacks, and beverages – is $238 for commuters, $388 per person for double occupancy, and $418 for single occupancy.

June 5, 2026, Adrian, Michigan – Weber Retreat and Conference Center offers days of reflection on two mystics: Dr. Howard Thurman and Sister Dorothy Stang, SNDdeN. The program begins at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, July 26, 2026, and ends at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, July 29, 2026.
The Inward Sea: Finding the Ground for Love and Justice, focuses on Dr. Howard Thurman and how essential his work is for our time, offering us a primary ground as we seek common ground in a divided world. Dr. Thurman (1899-1981) was an American author, minister, theologian, and civil rights leader involved in many social justice movements.
The presenter, Phillip D. Johnson, PhD, is a Dominican Associate, spiritual director, and Associate Professor of Counselor Education and Counseling at Western Michigan University. He embraces the tension between psychological healing and spiritual formation.
Unsuspected Legacy: The Dorothy Stang Story, focuses on the seeds of inspiration that have been planted in the 20 years since Sister Dorothy, a native of Dayton, Ohio, and a Sister of Notre Dame de Namur who was martyred after 40 years of ministry in Brazil, defending the local people and the environment.
Presenter Sister Judi Clemens, SNDdeN, lived and worked with Sister Dorothy and, after 22 years in Brazil, returned to the United States to spend 18 years in pastoral ministry with Brazilian immigrants in Boston and Florida. Share the event flyer (PDF).
Reflection on the Mystics is offered in person and through livestream. The cost is $180 for commuters and livestream participants, with lunch included for commuters; $280 per person double occupancy; and $380 single occupancy. The cost includes all meals for retreatants staying at Weber Center.
