Star Gathering 2 Family 2024

August 4 - August 11

Imagination is Evidence of the Divine: An exploration of art and creativity in spiritual practice.

We are a joyful intergenerational conference that emphasizes community while celebrating all the things that make us unique. Reverends John Dorhauer and Olivia Robinson will lead our adult morning program, inviting us to examine art and creativity in our spiritual practice. Together, we will explore how our imagination and creative drive is evidence of the divine spark within us all. In addition to the weeklong morning program, conferees share their own gifts, talents and interests via specific activities scheduled throughout the week. In the past, these have included wine tasting, tai chi, drumming workshops and cooking demonstrations, to name just a few. We also offer separate morning children’s programs with age-specific activities, plus separate evening offerings for high school students. Music performances, art classes, boating, swimming, softball, frisbee golf competitions and many other offerings the whole family can enjoy take place throughout the day and into the evening.
