SUMMARY:Seasons Within
DESCRIPTION:Register\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nHow Do You Keep the Music Playing? \n\n\n\nIn the midst of changes\, challenges\, and choices\, how do you keep the music of your heart alive? How do you allow your soul to continue to sing out its deepest longing in a world that often seems\, gone mad? \n\n\n\nWe will gather as beloved community and share our hearts’ songs through meditation\, sharing our stories\, labyrinth play\, and yes\, even making melodies\, strung together by love and light. \n\n\n\nFacilitator Shirli Hughes says: “As a musician\, I am always listening for hidden melodies\, found in unexpected places that bring joy to my soul. This is the joy that I want to share with you and watch in wonder as you discover and reconnect with your own inner song\, waiting to be set free!” \n\n\n\nSeasons Within is a quarterly retreat series to celebrate the equinox and solstice sponsored by Peace Hill at Avila.

For over 29 years\, he has dedicated his life to the mission of theSisters of Mercy in America\, working to support the poor\, homeless\, and those living onsociety’s fringes.

His desire to serve others then led him to AmeriCorps\, where he worked for two years as a volunteer coordinator\, and the Maryland Ecumenical Council\, where he spent seven years mobilizing churches and volunteers to support individuals living with HIV/AIDS. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTony’s work didn’t stop with his involvement in existing ministries. He founded severalministries of his own\, including an AIDS Ministry in Durham\, North Carolina\, and 9th Street.Ministries\, which focused on serving the poor and homeless in the West Durham area. His mostA recent initiative\, “My Neighbor Ministry\,” launched in 2021\, continues his legacy of service tomarginalized communities in the DC area. \n\n\n\nBeyond his work in community outreach and social justice\, Tony’s love for dance has been anintegral part of his ministry. Through dance\, he has created over 10 original works that embodyhis faith journey and reflect on scripture. His role as a dance minister reflects his belief in usingmovement as a powerful means of expressing and connecting with others. In 2023\, he wascommissioned by the American Dance Festival to create a piece\, “Flow of Community\,” thatreflects on his experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. He also premiered a documentary\,Dance Came My Voice\, showcasing his unique blend of faith\, community\, and movement.Tony’s life and ministry exemplify a deep commitment to service\, creativity\, and connection\,using every opportunity to care for those most in need. His work is a living testament to thetransformative power of faith and art in building compassionate communities. \n\n\n\nStaying at Avila \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe retreat will take place at Avila Center for Community Leadership\, a retreat center located on 50 acres of wooded land in Northern Durham.

SUMMARY:Seasons Within
DESCRIPTION:Register\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSeasons Within is a quarterly retreat series to celebrate the equinox and solstice sponsored by Peace Hill at Avila. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a day of renewal and deep inner listening as we honor the Spring Equinox—a time of balance\, growth\, and new beginnings. We will work with the archetype of the Healer\, exploring what has heart and meaning through four transformative practices. Each practice will center on one chamber of the four-chambered heart: full\, open\, clear\, and strong.   \n\n\n\nJust as the Earth awakens from winter’s stillness\, we\, too\, are called to realign with life-affirming patterns. This seasonal shift invites us to nourish our well-being\, strengthen our inner clarity\, and expand into spring with purpose. Through mindful movement with sound bowls\, silent reflection\, and intentional practice\, we will cultivate the vitality needed to embrace the season ahead.   \n\n\n\nThis is an invitation to tend to your own healing as a radical act—for yourself and the world around you. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe spring retreat will be led by Shakira Bethea. With over a decade of experience as a licensed massage and bodywork therapist\, Shakira’s deep commitment to embodied living has evolved over time\, shaping her brand Rhythmic Bloom.  \n\n\n\nShe guides others on a transformative journey of spiritual and personal growth\, helping them reset after grief\, depression\, and life’s hardships. Through loving honesty and mindful movement\, she supports individuals in finding resonance\, reclaiming their rhythm\, and embracing a life of deeper connection and purpose. \n\n\n\nYou can learn more about her work at www.rhythmicbloom.com.

SUMMARY:Anger: Yours\, Theirs\, and God’s
DESCRIPTION:Quandaries & Conversations for Clergy \n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: Avila Center for Community Leadership\,                                        711 Mason Rd\, Durham\, NC 27712 \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“I know that compassion is all out of fashion and anger is all the rage.“ \n-David Wilcox\n\n\n\nOurs is certainly an age in which “anger is all the rage.”  \n\n\n\nConsider these questions: \n\n\n\nRev. Dr. Paul Lang\, Pastor of Cary Presbyterian\, will facilitate this timely conversation with area pastors serving in an array of ministries. \n\n\n\n† While it seems that scripture on the whole counsels against having and harboring anger — it is also true that there are moments when God is overcome with wrath.  How do we understand God’s anger? \n\n\n\n† Can anger ever be the source of virtue?  \n\n\n\n† In the current US culture\, many seem to feel that their anger is justified and\, in fact\, is indicative of their righteousness. Can that be true? \n\n\n\n† What are we to do with anger … ours and theirs … personally and pastorally?  \n\n\n\nThis will be the first of three gatherings in 2025 with the intent of providing helpful space and time for clergy conversation and camaraderie.     \n\n\n\nRegistration is limited. A healthy lunch\, drinks\, and snacks will be provided. For scholarship requests\, please contact elaina@peacehillavila.org. \n\n\n\nSponsored by Peace Hill\, RCWMS\, and Duke University Chapel.

SUMMARY:Seasons Within
DESCRIPTION:Register\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nA quarterly retreat series in 2024to celebrate the equinox and solsticesponsored by Peace Hill at Avila. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFree from desire\, you realize the mystery. Caught in desire\, you see only the manifestations. Yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source. This source is called darkness. Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understanding.                       -Tao Te Ching\, Lao Tzu\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn the day of the year with the longest night\, for our last Seasons Within of 2024\, we will come together in the evening hours to explore and experience what darkness has to teach us. During this period of sharing meditations\, music\, silence\, and reflections\, we will seek not only to embrace the darkness but to also allow ourselves to be embraced by it. Please join us as we seek to enter  “the gateway to all understanding.” \n\n\n\nFacilitator: Phil Mathews\, Peace Hill Board of Directors

SUMMARY:Fashioning Life’s Working Paper in Chaotic Times: An Overnight Retreat with the Words of Howard Thurman
DESCRIPTION:Register Now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLed by Dumas Harshaw and Phil Mathews \n\n\n\nParticipants will explore Howard Thurman’s life\, legacy\, and writing to discern how to continue developing and embodying humane\, loving and liberating “working papers” in a time of seeming chaos and unprecedented change. The resources for this time of reflection\, rejuvenation and renewal will include the documentary “Backs Against the Wall: The Howard Thurman Story\,” as well as a few Thurman books including Jesus and the Disinherited\, Deep is the Hunger\, and Meditations of the Heart. \n\n\n\nMeals are provided for Friday supper\, and Saturday breakfast and lunch. Fruits\, snacks\, and beverages will be available. Special attention will be paid to dietary needs. Overnight lodging options are: \n\n\n\n\nsmall\, single rooms in a 6-person dormitory with two full\, shared baths\n\n\n\nlarger rooms with two double beds for an individual or a pair. Every two rooms share a full bath. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo see photos\, visit https://avilacenter.org/lodging/ \n\n\n\nPricing\n\n\n\n\nSingle room\, meals\, and retreat: $155 \n\n\n\nDouble room for an individual\, meals\, and retreat: $180\n\n\n\nDouble room shared\, meals\, and retreat: $135\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Retreat Leaders\, Dumas Harshaw & Phil Mathews\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDumas Harshaw is the recently retired pastor of First Baptist Church in Raleigh and has served as an adjunct instructor at Campbell\, Duke\, and Shaw Divinity Schools. Howard Thurman has long been the subject of his research beginning with his doctorate and more recently with the publication of a paper\, “Howard Thurman’s Spirituality and the Beloved Community.” \n\n\n\nPhil Mathews served in pastoral ministries for nearly 40 years\, retiring at the end of 2012. He believes that each of us is a unique and ever-changing expression of the manifestation of love. We’re all trying to find our way home\, which means living the truth of who we really are. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoth Phil and Dumas serve as board members of Peace Hill at Avila.  \n\n\n\nThey offer the following Thurman quote they will be using as a unifying theme for the retreat. \n\n\n\n\n“For every person there is a need to establish as securely as possible the lines along which they propose to live their life. In developing their life’s working paper they must take into account many factors … The life working paper of the individual is made up of a creative synthesis of what the person is in all their parts and how they react to the living process. It can never be determined just what a person will fashion.” \nfrom Jesus and the Disinherited\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Now
