There is no Beloved Virtual Circle tonight
the Beloved Retreat Community
Welcome!
Welcome Retreatants of Beloved 62 - our newest community members!
This is an informational website for the Beloved Community during the time of Covid-19. We remain a community in this extended time of physical distancing in consideration of the most vulnerable brothers and sisters among us.
We have been actively engaging the Beloved Community online for over a year since March 14th, 2021! Our highlights include:
Beloved 62 Online Retreat - we did it again! We hosted folks from Texas, Washington, and even Illinois. We took that parts of the retreat that we know work and translated them to a format that worked online. As musician Jason Grey sang "Remind Me Who I Am," the community answered... Beloved.
Beloved 61 Online Retreat - we made history by hosting the first ever virtual retreat November 20-22! It was virtual in the literal sense in that we could not physically gather, but we are so proud to say that retreat - and the grace that was mediated - was very real. We are so lucky to have had the community support all weekend.
Beloved 60 Alumni Retreat - we gathered at the end of May with members of many different communities to celebrate Pentecost and our Belovedness - blessings to folks in Chicago, the suburbs, Wisconsin, and Canada who joined us. We remembered that we are Baptised and part of an amazing community.
Weekly Activities - we have hosted Beloved Virtual Circles throughout the week since the start of the pandemic as a way to stay in communion with each other. These "Circles" initially focused on the four Beloved words (Baptised, Reconciled, Fed, and Sent) but expanded to include gatherings that are more social, prayerful / meditative, and even included spirituality rooted in creativity.
Larger Community Gatherings - we still gather for our monthly Beloved Legacy events.
Again, Welcome!
It doesn't matter if you just went on this recent retreat or if you were on the first retreat some 20+ years ago. It doesn't matter if you go to Old St. Pat's or another church. It doesn't matter if you attend every event or if you have been away for a while. We are glad that you are here! Don't forget - your presence is always a gift!
Please continue to look here for information on all of our virtual events. As a reminder, make sure that you are refreshing the page to get the most current information.

About Us
From Terry Nelson-Johnson:
For 20 years we gathered together to tell our stories and remember that we belong to one another. We built some spiritual muscle memory, friends, which serves us well in this time when we are asked not to hold one another. My invitation for all of us in the days and weeks ahead is to recall our BAPTISM and remember that we are precious, Beloved daughters and sons of God and that we are SENT to RECONCILE and FEED one another especially in these trying times. Can the church say? Amen!!
