To Human
With Sister Oanh Vo, aci and Dan Chen
May 16, 2026
We often find ourselves with a never-ending task list, created and fueled by this insidious and invisible need to be worthy and valued. We are encouraged to be machines rather than humans, hailed for our ability to run on fumes rather than being fully nourished. What does it mean to honor being human? How do we take our God gifted place and make space for others to do the same? Will we embrace our core identity and co-labor with our Creator in His sustainable way? This day of retreat will provide an opportunity to slow down and receive our gift of being; to connect with and nourish our body, mind, and spirit; to learn and practice the 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine; and immerse in creative, healing practices. We will make delicious, nutritious plant-based recipes together to align with how we feed ourselves with God-purposed food packages. We will practice connecting with one another and with creation as we create a safe space for grounded nourishment.
Saturday, May 16, 8:30am to 4:30pm
The cost of participating in this retreat is $85.
