SUMMARY:Trip to Plazuelas\, El Salvador
DESCRIPTION:The Plazuelas-Parker Project (PPP) has the mission of building connections between Theodore Parker Church and the rural Salvadoran community of Plazuelas. Plazuelas and TPC agreed to create this “sibling” relationship in 2019\, and TPC recently raised $6\,500 to help the Plazuelas community build a church there. \nPPP is organizing a trip to visit Plazuelas and other parts of El Salvador in the winter of 2025 and inviting members and friends of TPC to join on this trip. It is not required to speak Spanish to participate. \nWhen: November 30-December 7\, 2025 \nThis sample itinerary\, based on previous trips\, gives you an idea of what the trip will be like. The details of our actual itinerary will likely change\, as the date of our trip approaches. \n\nNov. 30: Arrive in San Salvador\, travel 40 minutes to guest house in San Salvador.\nDec. 1: Get oriented and acclimated\, visit sites in San Salvador.\nDec. 2: Leave for Plazuelas after breakfast\, arrive mid-day\, meet hosts\, rest and get settled in the afternoon; walking tour of the community.\nDec. 3: Full day in Plazuelas\, spend time with hosts\, meet with the community organization\, Asociaciones de Desarrollo Comunal (ADESCO) and church group; evening event in the community.\nDec. 4: Leave Plazuelas mid-morning\, travel to Suchitoto in time for lunch\, spend afternoon at the Center for Art and Peace\, tour museum\, meet with center director\, spend night in Suchitoto at Center.\nDec. 5: Leave Suchitoto mid-morning. Travel back to San Salvador\, arriving in time for lunch\, rest\, and meet with human rights activist at guest house.\nDec. 6: Breakfast at guest house and visit to Center for International Solidarity (CIS)\, followed by a possible shopping trip and visit to a community near San Salvador; evening social event.\nDec. 7: Breakfast in hotel\, prepare for departure. Return flight to U.S.\n\n  \nApproximate cost: $650 to $730 round trip air fare from Boston\, MA to San Salvador\, El Salvador (prices expected to increase closer to travel date) + ~$1\,000 in-country cost (includes transportation\, lodging\, and food). If cost is a barrier to joining this trip\, financial assistance will be available. \n  \nTrip difficulty: Some walking required in weather and temperature similar to Boston in July. The terrain is hilly in Plazuelas; we will accommodate mobility differences. There may be stairs without handrail assistance\, but we will support each other in such circumstances. We will take full advantage of our time in El Salvador but will schedule plenty of time for rest. \n  \nIf interested\, please fill out this form by Sept. 15\, 2025. (All responses will be kept confidential.) Each adult should fill out a separate form. If you will be taking a minor\, please so indicate on the form. \n  \nFor more information\, please contact Kevin Murray\, Laura Maltby\, or Kit Shaw.

SUMMARY:The Spirituality of Aging: Exploring Gerotranscendence
DESCRIPTION:Join TPC member Rebecca Priest for a presentation on the spirituality of aging and the theory of gerotranscendence. Drawing on her work as a geriatric social worker\, Rebecca will offer an introduction to gerotranscendence — a developmental theory which proposes that old age has its very own meaning and character\, which are of value and important to develop — and explore the spiritual journey of aging within a culture that often devalues this phase of life. \nRebecca will be leading an Adult Religious Education course on the same topic beginning in January. This presentation will be an introduction to the course material\, but will be open to all. Please email Rose and Rebecca with any questions.
