Here is a recent article on this summer’s Sisters of Earth conference that was published in the National Catholic Reporter in October.

Over 60 of us met to explore “the new emerging humanity.” We came prepared to share our stories of new language, new images and new experiences that give hints of an emerging consciousness arising within us. One joyful emergence came the first night when it was clear that over a third of the participants were attending for the first time. This seed of newness energized all of us, particularly the “pioneers,” as some of us are called. Another shift was that over half of the group was comprised of associates and friends of women religious congregations. A promising trend, both of these demographics added to the energy of the weekend.[/bpfb_link]
