We Are All Related (online and in person)

We Are All Related is a collaboration with the Community of Communities, a unique collaboration with retreat centers across the United States and Canada. Be with us for an afternoon of reflection and participation on the relationship among humans, animals, trees, plants, and all Earth elements through the indigenous principle we are all related.

Let’s come together in community to thoughtfully recognize the harmony that exists in the natural world, God’s Creation. When the winter ground is frozen, seeds wait. As we anticipate and enjoy the growing season, let’s rest in wonder as we reflect on what means for each of us to be a good relative to all elements of Earth.

For this reflective virtual experience, join Diane Wilson, award-winning author of the 2021 novel The Seedkeeper, as well as the author of Spirit Car: Journey to a Dakota Past, Beloved Child: A Dakota Way of Life, and A Good Time for the Truth: Race in Minnesota.

In the face of the climate crisis and food scarcity, we can become paralyzed. Yet, we can welcome a change of heart. Believe that with reflection and intentionality, we can take action from a spiritually-rooted place to make change.
