Join us for the Winter Retreat to Mersey River Chalets outside Kejimkujik National Park, Feb 2nd-4th. 

THEME
Contemporary culture insists that we distract ourselves from the reality and imminence of our deaths, through experiences and consumerism. Yet, modern medical treatment enables those who are dying to prolong their lives. Consequently, we are surrounded by a living death, which we ourselves will one day endure. To survive it, beauty must be re-imagined and re-awakened.

ABOUT OUR SPEAKERS

He is noted especially for his uncompromised commitment to accompany his patients on their final journey with courage and beauty. Greg is an avid reader of literature and poetry, enjoys running, and supports the Cleveland Indians, the Cleveland Orchestra, various forms of modern dance and theatre. He and his partner live in Cleveland Heights with a dear little dog who answers to the name Millie.

Bob Tees assists persons nearing the end of life with the discovery of heightened experiences of meaning and love. Earlier in his career, he worked with college and university students, the homeless, and as a Long-Term Care chaplain.
