It's Black History Month, and we're inspired by the strength, clarity, courage, and wisdom of those who've gone before.

In speaking of his friendship with Dr. King, Thich Nhat Hanh said, "We agreed that without a community, we cannot go very far. Without a happy, harmonious community, we will not be able to realize our dream."

Dr. King called it "Beloved Community", saying, "It is this type of spirit and this type of love that can transform opponents into friends. It is this type of understanding goodwill that will transform the deep gloom of the old age into the exuberant gladness of the new age. It is this love which will bring about miracles in the hearts of men.”

We at MNW are so grateful to be in community with you.

This weekend is for relationships!

Join us for what might be the perfect date night or even anniversary celebration!

Imagine a whole day to focus on just the two of you without distractions, rediscovering not only who you are as a couple, but who you can become. In relationships that flourish, both partners commit to their individual growth and to their growth as a couple. This retreat is a day to explore what it means to practice compassion in your partner relationship and to commit freely in the small yet important moments that build trust, security, and connection.
