Itinerary
Friday -- We will gather for dinner and create a sacred circle and space for holy conversation.
Saturday -- We will offer both group and individual Soul Sauntering hikes, as well as time to walk the labyrinth and explore our interior lives using art, writing, silence, and other contemplative practices. In the evening we will reflect on our day in small groups.
Sunday -- We will have an optional early morning sunrise hike, followed by breakfast, reflection, and Holy Eucharist. We will end the retreat with lunch.
Thomas Merton knew that the true mentor of the soul was nature itself. The fields, sun, mud, clay, wind, forests, sky, earth, and water are all companions for our own inner journey. --Christine Painter, "Earth, Our Original Monastery"
