<< All WorkshopsWORSHIP IN THE WILD
A monthly retreat to connect more deeply to yourself, each other and the Divine.
Together we will cultivate and nourish community, honoring, reverence, devotion, prayer and peace in the temple of the natural world.
Your breath belongs to you, you belong to your breath. You belong to me and I belong to you. Each one of us is a limb of the Earth’s body, belonging as One. Through honor, reverence, gratitude, adoration and devotion of the natural world, we can strengthen our experience of belonging to Self, each other and the beloved Divine One, who expresses itself in many names and forms.
Let’s gather for a day retreat, 1/month to foster the experience and knowing of unity, love and devotion in the temple of nature. Please note that these retreats are drug/alcohol/smoke free.
