The band is getting back together and we hope you will join us for our first AIM Graduate Network Retreat Feb. 22-24, 2024. Through the generosity of a grant, $25 will cover your food and housing for the length of the retreat, as well as collaborative learning, centering, and discerning programs. This gathering is meant to be a true retreat, holding space for the kind of rest you need in this season, whether that rest comes through time in community or time alone, space for movement or stillness, time for learning or acting, time for quiet or laughter. AIM students and graduates make us what we are, and we are committed to creating spaces like this where you can build deeper connections in this brilliant community. Registration and support information is below.
We look forward to seeing you!
