It’s time for the Action Alliance’s Annual Retreat. In honor of its being 30 years old, the theme is: our history, our present and our future as a movement with the theme of “yesterday.today.tomorrow.” There will be workshops, networking, and self-care opportunities over today, tomorrow and Thursday. The conference is at a new site this year, JMU in Harrisonburg. The keynote speaker this year is Connie Burk from the Northwest Network in Seattle, WA.

Tonight is the Catalyst Awards dinner and socializing with all our comrades to end violence. Tomorrow I give two presentations with my staff, how exciting!

First is my presentation on Art in Response to Violence. Then Megan J. joins me for a presentation on Working with Adult Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse. In between I get to hear great presentations from others. I’ll be tweeting!
