Loving the Wild: Earth-Centering Our Spirituality, a Spirituality in the 21st Century 3-day Retreat
What do your heart and spirit and body long for, in relation to Earth – or where are you beckoned deeper, falling in love with the Sacred Wild? This contemplative retreat weekend will invite participants into this sacred grounding in Earth-relation, by means of both indoor and outdoor practices of deep listening to the animate presences of the living world, the longings of our own hearts and bodies, one another’s depths, the divine presence that is our home. This will be a rich and holy time, open to all and with space for you.
Through this experience, you will be invited:
- To encounter land, creatures, presences, of the more-than-human world
- To explore how such experience connects with your own heart, faith/spirituality, the Divine
- To learn to see the world and ourselves with new eyes, with new hearts, as dwelling places of the Divine
- To consider and honor the sacredness of all that is: the re-enchantment of the world
- To participate in indoor and outdoor ritual/spiritual practice
- To connect with others in discussion and contemplative presence
- To open to teachings from humans of many traditions and to the wisdom of this place and its creatures and waters and wind
