Exploring Identities: Reflection on the REYWT Retreat

By Tiffany B. Gonzales

Photograph of Tiffany Gonzales.During the first weekend in August, Racial Ethnic Young Women Together (REYWT, pronounced “root”) held a retreat in Daytona Beach, Florida.  Nearly 40 young women of color gathered to engage the theme, “Loving Ourselves: Discovering Our Identities and Exploring Our Places”. 
We gathered from all across the United States and Puerto Rico, and had the opportunity to attend workshops, worship, learn about one another in small groups, play on the beach and get some much-needed rest. 

Some of the women attending knew each other before this retreat, but many others had never met anyone in attendance. For many of us, this was our first time to connect with so many young women of color from across the church. I know this was true for me, and it was an experience that I will not soon forget. Keep reading Tiffany’s reflection.
 
     
 
 

The Rev. Mihee Kim-Kort reflects on the REYWT retreat

The 2008 REYWT Retreat was held July 31 — August 3, 2008, at the El Caribe Resort and Conference Center in Daytona Beach, Florida. The retreat held true to its theme of Loving Ourselves: Discovering our Identities and Exploring our Places as women from all over the country met in Daytona Beach to meet and connect with one another, share and explore their faith journeys, and enjoy dynamic devotion and worship services.

Photograph of The Rev. Mihee Kim-Kort.It was truly a blessing being able to attend the 2008 (REYWT) conference as a participant. I attended as a representative of Princeton Theological Seminary’s Office of Admissions in order to share my experiences as a seminarian. Though my original intention was to simply be there to connect with potential seminary applicants, I was immediately floored by the feeling of community and connection with other women of color doing ministry at so many levels around the country. Keep reading Mihee's reflection.
