In times of overwhelming social and political chaos, we need sacred grounding in the relationships that sustain us, the Earth-relationships that comprise us. In this day program, participants will contemplate vital questions. What do your heart and spirit and body long for in relation to Earth? Where are you beckoned deeper, falling in love with the Sacred Wild?
Through “Loving the Wild,” participants immerse in Earth-cherishing through indoor and outdoor practices of deep listening, reflection, grounding practices and small and large group exchanges. This will be a rich and holy day, open to participants of all faith backgrounds as well as those with no religious affiliation.
