2012 UUs!

Happy spring to all the 2012 UUs! Preparations are already in the works for the fall New Orleans area UU retreat to be held Oct. 19, 20 and 21 at Fountainbleau State Park in St. Tammany Parish. This is a blog where the members of the Conscious Living Covenant Group and friends will write about those preparations -- making our fall retreat fun, focusing on relaxation, treading on the earth lightly, keeping our relationships right and honorable with each other and our planet.

To Retreat or Not to Retreat ... that is the question

Hello friends!
Our little Hurricane Isaac did some damage at Fontainbleau State park - the park is closed while they work on cleanup and repairs.  I spoke with the park people about our dates for the retreat and asked when they might be reopening.  Their reply was a tentative "Oct 14" - which could be perfect for us since we would be there the next weekend Oct 19.  But we won't know for a few weeks.  I'll check in and keep you posted.

In the meantime, Deanna and the other ministers waggled their heads together and proposed a Plan B of having the Saturday retreat events at the NSUU community center.  Which is a great idea, and may take just a little extra planning - and nothing is written in stone as yet .... I'll keep you posted on that too.

There are lots of campsites around northshore so some of you may want to take some tents and camp out over there somewhere - Bogue Chitto has some public campsites on the river which are nice.

So we will still try and plan to have a retreat into nature with our fellow UUs!

stay tuned ...

and in the meantime - keep an eye out for a BONE MAKING PROJECT!  Part of the 1,000,000 bones project with an aart installation at St Anna's in the Treme!  bones, baby, bones!
