Some of our past retreats & workshops include: Images of God and Prayer with Roberta Bondi; Feminist Spirituality with Sr. Miriam Therese Winter; Spirituality in the Second Half of Life with Maria Harris; Saving Jesus from Those Who Are Right with Carter Heyward; Creating Beloved Community with bell hooks; and weekend events with author and naturalist Terry Tempest Williams. Women's Speakers have included ethicists Beverly Harrison as well as a presentation, art show and retreat with Barbara Hughes for women who are survivors of childhood sexual trauma.

A new offering this year is our Monday Brown-Bag Salon which is a chance for community conversation every Monday at noon, including conversations about books, movies, poetry, and community topics. Check out the "What's Coming Up" page for the current schedule.

Every other year, a Women's Interfaith Seder has been held at the YWCA. Holy Ground regularly collaborates with other local non-profits, educational institutions and religious organizations to bring speakers and events to our community.
