Gathering 2026

Written By Charlie Dorsett

Nurturing Resilient Communities

Defiant Love: Nurturing Resilient Community is the 2026 CSC Gathering, held October 30 through November 1 at Mercy Retreat Center in St. Louis, Missouri. More than a conference, this participatory weekend invites us into ritual, learning, creativity, ecological consciousness, embodied spiritual activism, grief, gratitude, and communal imagination as we cultivate resilient communities capable of faithful, loving dissent in difficult times.

We are glad you are considering joining us for the 2026 CSC Gathering.

My name is Charlie, but if your looking for my work, I go by C. E. Dorsett.  I write scifi, fantasy, and a touch of horror.  I like to play with gothic, steampunk, decopunk, epic fantasy, and wuxia.  I love to tell stories and talk about books, movies, series, and music.
