[YAF-announce] Nonviolence Retreat November 7-9 in Central MA

[Christel Jorgenson]

Agape Community, a center for nonviolence living and education in the  
countryside near Ware MA, invites college age folks to come for a  
retreat, "Are You Seeking Peace?" November 7-9, 2008.  I have been  
friends with Brayton and Suzanne, the community founders, ever since  
they were attenders at Friends Meeting at Cambridge, before they  
returned to their Catholic roots and started this project.  They are  
fellow-travelers and would welcome Quaker attenders.  It's a beautiful  
place and interesting people.
I will attach the flyer for the weekend.  Consider it!
