Our time together on retreat was nourishing and challenging. We prayed in our bodies, we learned about and explored our core beliefs about our bodies, we lamented and held each other’s stories. In whatever way you offered yourself on retreat — sharing your own vulnerability, handing someone a tissue, walking together in silence, singing in chapel or sharing your tears — all of it was a precious gift to this community.
If you struggled with any part of this retreat, please contact us, so a member of the TC team can discuss it with you. We are in this together and we want to walk with you. Please don't hesitate to reach out. You can reply to this email to set up a time to talk.
If this retreat revealed any unprocessed trauma, addiction, or deep grief in your life, we encourage you to enter into a therapeutic relationship with a licensed counselor or therapist.
We are grateful to be on this journey together and you are being lovingly held in prayer this quarter.

TRANSFORMING COMMUNITY19
TC19 begins this June and it is quickly filling up! As you know, we have a richer experience when we have men and women learning and journeying together in community. Historically, women apply sooner than men so we are paying attention to our gender balance as this new community is forming.
If you know a man in active leadership, who would benefit from the TC journey, please encourage him to apply to TC19 asap. If he uses the code “beginmyjourney” by March 15th, we
will waive the application fee. The application is available on our website.

There are two books that we want to add to the recommended reading list that was in your folder. Joy Unspeakable and Crisis Contemplation are two offerings by Barbara Holmes that will bless you during the quarter. We have added them to the list on the TC18 website.
