January 16 – 18, 2026
Join diocesan Creation Justice members for a weekend of deep listening, prayer, and reconnection with land and water as we explore what it means to live into a watershed-based gospel and nurture our land-and-water-centered faith communities. This retreat is for those discerning a call to ecological discipleship and collaborative ministry rooted in the rivers, forests, and coastlines of Western Washington and beyond. Together, we will worship together, practice attentive presence, share stories, and imagine pathways for a future Land & Water Cohort of practice.
This retreat will be led by Rev. Evan Clendenin and Rev. John Creasy of the Wild Indigo Guild, Brian Sellers-Peterson, and the diocesan Creation Justice Advisory Group. [Stay tuned for the registration link, cost, and itinerary! **in bold]
Who Should Come:
Anyone already engaged or curious about land-based ministry and ecological discipleship. As we hope to launch a church cohort later this year, we encourage individuals or small groups (1-3) to attend from your congregation and will share more info on group discounts soon.
