What does health justice mean to us while navigating cancer and other life-threatening illnesses?
What do our bodies uniquely know?
When shared on our own terms, what can our stories do — and undo?
This project is possible with funding and support from the Eno River Fellowship Foundation, partnerships with Resource Center for Women in MInistry in the South (RCWMS), ERUUF Care Ministries, and the Flipping Cancer Project. Thank you!
We celebrate:
Our intrepid institutional host and 2023-24 ERUUF project guide Rev. Jim Lewis – and all ERUUF clergy, dedicated staff, Foundation members, and Pastoral Care Associates volunteers led by Ellen Fenster-Kuehl and Geri LaPlaca for your time and care
Regional partners in healthcare systems, educational, arts and community building initiatives for your interest and encouragement
Collaborators’ families + community supporters for sustaining us
Participants in the public workshop, creative renewal + devising retreat, for your presence, inner-spark, embodied knowing. What a treat to move, groove, witness, and imbue emergent practices and co-imaginings with your real talk, gentle daring, and magnanimity.
