SUMMARY:Earth Awareness
DESCRIPTION:Deepening Connections\, Weaving Reciprocity \n“The divine communicates to us primarily through the language of the natural world. Not to hear the natural world is not to hear the divine.” ~Thomas Berry \nIn this week of Earth Day celebrations\, we’re invited to remember and reweave ever-deeper\, sacred connections to the living world around us. Our souls long to reclaim full communion with all life\, to re-establish rich relationships too-often hidden beneath cultural expectations\, distractions\, and chaotic times. \nAs we open to deepening connections to the land and lives around us — our kith and kin — we also open to beauty\, joy\, wisdom\, and gratitude. And within us awakens a sense of loving generosity toward those who have given so much. We see that we live within an ecosystem\, participate in a cycle of reciprocity\, and are called to support mutual well-being. \nJoin us on this day-long retreat to slow our busy minds\, tune our senses to the more than human life around us\, and remember that all are held within a living\, sacred web. Our day will include opportunities for shared conversation\, contemplative silence\, and wandering the paths outdoors. Your guide will offer contemplative practices to deepen your spiritual practice and encourage connecting to the beauty and wisdom of the sacred community in which we live. Lunch is included. Guided by Leah Rampy. \nLeah Rampy\, PhD is a writer\, speaker\, and experienced retreat leader who weaves ecology\, spirituality\, personal stories\, and practices to help others deepen their relationship to the natural world. She authored the award-winning Earth & Soul: Reconnecting Amid Climate Chaos\, co-authored with Beth Norcross Discovering the Spiritual Wisdom of Trees\, and is a frequent speaker on spiritual ecology and leadership in these uncertain times. Leah is the founder and leader of Church of the Wild Two Rivers that meets regularly to deepen spirituality through time in the natural world. She has led over a dozen pilgrimages to sacred places in the US and internationally for the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation\, where she previously served as the Executive Director and continues to serve as an adjunct staff member. Her essays on living more fully connected to Earth in these uncertain times appear weekly on Substack in Reweaving Earth & Soul.

SUMMARY:In-Person\, Evening Centering Prayer Session
DESCRIPTION:Held IN PERSON on the \n\n2nd and 5th Tuesdays of the month\, 1-2pm and\n4th Tuesday of the month\, 7-8pm.\n\nFor these in-person sessions\, registration is required and preferred in advance. \n(Virtual Zoom sessions will be the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month from 1-2pm. Register for Virtual Sessions by emailing facilitator Amy Sorensen Kulesa at kulesa.neshama@gmail.com.) \nCentering Prayer is a form of Christian contemplative prayer\, in which one abides in the Presence of God in interior silence. Centering Prayer emphasizes the indwelling Presence of the Holy Trinity within and among us\, and our openness\, through receptive silence and restful surrender\, to God’s action and healing grace. For our one-hour sessions\, we will gather to pray together in silence\, attentive to the stillness within\, and reflect together on readings related to our prayer life. The sessions are relaxed and informal. You are invited to dress comfortably and use a meditation cushion\, if you would like. \nFacilitation for each Centering Prayer session will be led by an experienced member of the group\, both staff and from the community. We follow a consistent format from week to week\, with variability each session in the reflective reading that is shared. Coordinated by Amy Sorensen Kulesa.
