Retreat Weekend
Apr 13 2022
We wrapped up our semester with a weekend full of reflections, discussions, relaxing and fun at El Refugio where we had the decompression and processing time we needed to close out our time together here in Ecuador.
Thanks to those of you out there following along our journey these last months! Nina and I so appreciated our students this semester. They were incredibly caring, always supportive and inclusive of one another within the group and those who we met. They wrestled deeply with our journal prompts, always bringing forth very thoughtful, compassionate, and humble insights and comments to complex subjects. And we so valued their commitment and motivation to form lasting intercultural connections and relationships while they were here. Great things are ahead for each of you, dios les pague, stay in touch!
