New Hope Catholic Worker Farm and Agronomic University
Our second annual, week-long Growing Roots session will focus on the life and thought of Catholic Worker co-founder Peter Maurin and how it pertains to our economic context in the 21st century. Starting on the afternoon of Sunday the 17th and ending on the morning of Saturday the 23rd, our learning will be integrated. Four hours of intellectual labor each day--via lecture, discussion and reading--will be balanced with four hours of manual labor on our 28-acre farm, home to 13 community members (by then, we hope!), a half acre of vegetables and fruits, dairy cows, chickens, bees, springs and streams. There will also be time for prayer, lively meals, rest, bonfires and music.
Guiding our study will be questions of the Life and Thought of Peter Maurin; The Development of Usury; The Spirituality of Peter Maurin; Understanding Capitalism and Globalization; Strategies of Resistance; and more. All participants should plan to bring one of Peter Maurin's Easy Essays to read aloud and discuss. Carolyn Griffeth and Colleen Kelly of the Catholic Worker village in St. Louis will present, along with New Hope Farmers Brenna Cussen Anglada and Eric Anglada. Each participant, however, will be both teacher and learner. A reading list will be sent out in the coming weeks.
All are welcome to attend--whether you live in a Catholic Worker or not.
Housing: Lots of tenting available. Let us know if you are not able to tent and we should be able to work something out.
Cost: Barter, or 50 dollars.
Space is limited. Registration is by phone or in person only: 563.556.0987. No emails.
