Reservoir Fall Retreat
2020-10-25 12:30 - 17:30 | Greater Boston
Retreat Into Your City!
A self-guided tour of street art throughout Greater Boston.
With a focus on the stories and people of Boston, and its neighborhoods – you are invited to find the stories of God, yourself, and your neighbor embedded in the walls of your city.
This retreat is designed not as a voyeuristic tour, but one that draws you deeper into prayer, self-reflection and awareness of beloved community – the people you share this city with – highlighting the reality that God is present where we walk, live, work, and play.

The bones of our city are pregnant with history, speak to us of our present reality, and ask what our involvement and movement forward will look like.
Grab a friend, go with a community group, as a family or solo – and walk and read the streets that surround you!
We will provide maps with suggested routes, location of murals, spiritual practices and great spots to find tasty vittles (representative of the area), and family-friendly engagement spots (parks & playgrounds).
We’ll start the experience in 30 minute waves, beginning at 12:30 p.m. There will be two different outdoor locations where you can get instructions to begin, as well as a fully online option if you don’t want to go to one of the meet up spots.
