Choosing Hope, virtual retreat
With Marjory Zoet Bankson
January 30 - 31, 2026
What do you hope for? How is hope more than wishful thinking? Can we really choose hope instead of giving in to despair?
Too often we interpret “faith, hope and love” to mean having faith that somebody will save us from our sins, our habits, and our mistakes — or from the injustice that someone else has created. The premise of this retreat is that grief and blame can reveal what we love and that hope is a choice which leads to agency and action.
This online retreat will give you space, time, teaching, and interested companions to discover a more hope-full path ahead.
