The Northern California council hosts an annual one-day mini-retreat in San Francisco.

Flowers in Your Hair Optional
On your strolls through Golden Gate Park, have you ever come across the Pioneer Mother Monument by Stow Lake and thought deeply about what she represents?
Or have you ever pondered the lives of ancestors who may have toiled long hours seven days a week to sustain their families under harsh conditions after arriving in America?
What if your choice in life was to accept a marriage proposal to an unknown person in a land of radically different customs so far away you would never be able to see your family again?
On Saturday, February 8, 2025 via Zoom the San Francisco Mini Retreat discussions will explore topics of emigration and immigrants through the lenses of two short novels: O Pioneers! by Willa Cather and The Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka.
We will have two Zoom sessions: 10:00 - 12:00 in the morning, Pacific Time (PT), and an afternoon meeting to discuss contrasts and comparisons from 1:30 - 3:00 PT.
