About this offering
In times of overwhelming social and political chaos, we need grounding in the sacred relationships that sustain us, the Earth-relationships that comprise us. 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 day-program 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, the divine presence that is our home. This will be a rich and holy day, open to participants of all faith backgrounds as well as those with no religious affiliation.
