Living Resistance: A Mini-Retreat for Everyday Wholeness (June 8)

Krissy Kludt

Best-selling author Kaitlin Curtice and poet Krissy Kludt guide an online retreat, including readings, practices and a mailed care package.

We long to live in a world of mutual flourishing, where all life is valued. Resistance to the status quo is our basic human calling if we want to help the world heal, and healing begins in the personal realm. This mini retreat is based on Kaitlin Curtice’s best-selling new book, <a href="http://www.bakerpublishinggroup.com/books/living-resistance/412140" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Living Resistance</a>–a gentle, poetic, and practical guide to living for the flourishing of all. On June 8, 7-8:30PM (EST), join Kaitlin Curtice and Krissy Kludt for a mini online retreat, where we will enter into creative, embodied practices of resistance together. Listen to Kaitlin read from her book and hear her wisdom. Engage in a series of simple, accessible practices: imaginative meditation, creative writing, and guided conversation that will empower you to move toward your own wholeness. If you'd like, order the Care Package + Ritual Guide to help you set the stage for our time together in tactile and embodied ways. The care package and guide will also walk you through creating your own sacred ritual, a way to integrate Kaitlin's wisdom further into your life in a personal, resonant way.<h2>There are two pathways for this retreat:</h2><h3>1.

<h2>Praise for Living Resistance:</h2>"For those who have been hearing the call for a more equitable, compassionate, and humane world, Living Resistance is the road map we have been looking for. Curtice invites us into a multilayered understanding of resistance with love and justice at the center. Through a tapestry of ancestral, personal, and collective wisdom, she shares both practically and poetically. In a time where we are being invited to rise up and move toward liberation for all of our kin, this book reminds us of the fire we hold in our bellies and the spark we carry in our souls. I am so grateful that this book exists; it's a must-read for all."–Asha Frost, Indigenous Medicine Woman; bestselling author of You Are the Medicine"In Living Resistance, Curtice lays out a compassionate call to action for all of us to return to the source, to the root, to that which is love. Curtice writes poetically and sets out a clear and beautiful path that feels accessible to all. This book is a bold, reimagined way for us to stand courageously in our truth."–Joél Leon, poet, author, storyteller"In a moment in which 'resistance' is a hashtag and 'wholeness' is an industry, Curtice's Living Resistance--a reckoning, reclaiming, and remembering--is a lifeline reconnecting us with our human calling. Curtice beautifully honors the ancient and eternal promise of liberation as not only our sacred birthright but our marching orders."–Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed; founder of Together Rising"In Living Resistance, Curtice fiercely yet gently calls us home to care about our souls and our bodies, about each other and Mother Earth. It's a timely and timeless call to live resistance every day as we build the world we want, together."–Rev. Dr. Jacqui J. Lewis, senior minister, Middle Church; author of Fierce LovePhotos by Ryan Murray, Amy Paulson, Heidi Ameli and Krissy Kludt.
