Communities The Camrose "TEN DAYS for Global Justice" Committee invites you to a province-wide gathering of justice seekers to reflect on restoring right relations with Aboriginal Peoples and the Land, in a wonderful retreat setting. Our process will include an introduction to Aboriginal traditions and teachings by Elders, and grounding ourselves in body, mind, and spirit to reconnect with the land and with each other. The intent for this gathering is to build closer relationships between people and groups who are working for justice, including members of ecumenical church coalitions. We hope to better coordinate our efforts for action and change. This event is open to church members, community builders, students, educators, and Earth lovers alike. The weekend process will be participatory and follow 'earth time', balanced by references to the clock.
