Responding to the Wonders and Cries of Mother Earth
13th-century mystic Hildegard of Bingen wrote: “If we fall in love with creation deeper and deeper, we will respond to its endangerment with passion.”
Come explore all the wonders freely offered to nourish our minds, bodies, and spirits…and return home with several concrete steps we can take to live in good relationship with our Mother Earth — giving and taking. As author Robin W Kimmerer says: “All flourishing is mutual.” The day will include time for presentation, small group sharing, journaling, and walking in the beauty of Bon Secours. Lunch is included. Guided by Annie Hisle.
