Climate Resilience Retreat for Young Adults

Written By Cristina Turino

The Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace and Waterspirit invite young adults (ages 18–40) to a dedicated day of reflection on our relationship with the Earth. These retreats, held in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, and Seattle, Washington, offer a hope-filled experience in an era of climate anxiety and environmental uncertainty.  

Retreat presenters Sister Chero Chuma, CSJP, US Vocation Director, and Blair Nelsen, Executive Director of Waterspirit, will explore how spirituality and community can transform worry into purposeful, hopeful engagement.  

While there is no charge for these retreats, free-will offerings are gratefully accepted.
