"Where Olive Trees Weep" Film Screening

About the event
In a time of metacrisis, with spiraling catastrophes all around us, how do we find our bearings and reclaim our agency? Our hearts have been broken open by the genocide taking place in Gaza. And we want a place to share our grief, hear the stories of the humans who are living inside this, and learn ways we can support them at this time. It has been said that “Grief is love that has nowhere to go”. Come, let your grief be held inside this powerful container, and let your love find the form of renewed action and connection.
About the film
Where Olive Trees Weep offers a searing window into the struggles and resilience of the Palestinian people under Israeli occupation. It explores themes of loss, trauma, and the quest for justice. We follow, among others, Palestinian journalist and therapist Ashira Darwish, grassroots activist Ahed Tamimi, and Israeli journalist Amira Hass. We witness Dr. Gabor Maté offering trauma-healing work for a group of women who have been tortured in Israeli prisons. Ancient landscapes bear deep scars, having witnessed the brutal reality of ancestral land confiscation, expulsions, imprisonment, home demolitions, water deprivation, and denial of basic human rights. Yet, through the veil of oppression, we catch a glimpse of resilience—deep roots that have carried the Palestinian people through decades of darkness and shattered lives. This emotional journey bares the humanity of the oppressed while grappling with the question: what makes the oppressor so ruthlessly blind to its own cruelty?
We will gather in the sanctuary/main hall. If you’d like to bring drinks or snacks to enjoy while you watch, please feel free. However, we ask no alcohol at this event.

We will be staying at the beautiful Mattole Camp & Retreat Center. There is a swimming hole, low ropes course, campfire area, and lots of green grass and shady trees. Sleeping options include cabins with bunk beds and space for tents and RV’s. Handicap accessible cabins are available, too.
All meals, drinks, snacks and s’mores are included with registration payment (vegan, vegetarian, and gluten options, too). During Friday check-in, everyone will sign-up to help with one chore and one meal.
Cost:
$170/Adults (13 and up)
$145/Youth (6-12)
$110/Child (2-5, free under 2)
$550/Family of 4+
We do not want the registration cost to be the reason a member or friend chooses not to attend this beloved event. This year we are offering 50% and 100% scholarships. We hope this is a fun, relaxing weekend for all families and people, regardless of economic background or current state. For those who have a monetary abundance, consider your overflow to our scholarship fund. Let’s get everyone to the river!
Register today or before Thursday, August 1st. Reservations are limited and will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis.
