Custom
Retreats and Study Groups
Custom Retreats for groups of 6-60
participants, middle school through adult.
You choose the length of the
program, and we’ll integrate lessons of economics and faith. A single
day, a weekend, several days, whatever time you have can make a world of
difference. We will design an event for your
church group on a biblical theme: the Ten Commandments, the Lord’s Prayer,
the Parables, the Life of Jesus. They’re all about economics, you know. Cost
is customized as well.
Email
Deb to inquire.
Readers’ Circle
— adults only.
At your place or ours, we’ll lead a
series of 5 discussions around a provocative book. Recent groups have read
Redneck Manifesto: How Hillbillies, Hicks and White Trash Became
America’s Scapegoats, by Goad; and Shipler's The Working Poor:
Invisible in America. Cost is $500 for
the 5-week session. For groups outside the Louisville area, this can be
formatted for a single day (same cost) or a weekend retreat (add $20 per
night per person). We can even come to you.
Email Deb to
inquire about a group event.
Things that make you go "hmmmm."
Okay, not really the name of it (the name was
taken), but in 60-75 minutes, we can give you an intro to a reality that may
make you ponder. Or cringe. Or cry. Call or email us.
Events for non-faith-based organizations.
If you are part of a non-profit board, public school faculty, or government
office, you may be looking for a new level of understanding of the
constituents you serve. We
are here to help! We can do all the same events but we leave it to you to
make your own faith connections or build on your own foundation of desire
for a better world.
Here's what one participant
said (noting that he is on the board of a center that serves youth that
are quite poor and almost exclusively African-American):
"Our board, in contrast,
is almost totally white, young and middle class income...The day spent at
UrbanSpirit made a significant impact on our understanding of the obstacles
our kids and their families face each day."
