8/24 Contemplative Nature Walk at Dayspring

Earth & Spirit would like to invite you to join some of us at Dayspring Retreat Center on Saturday, Aug. 24 at 9:30 am (arrive by 9:20) to go on a guided meditation walk in the natural beauty of Dayspring’s 210 acres of rolling fields and forests.

We’ll be using the meditation that Kolya Braun-Greiner wrote for Vita Poetica. Contemplation of Creation: A Nature Meditation Walk.

There are also photos by Kolya in the article (except for one by Julie Wan!) that you could use if you are not able to attend and wish to experience a kind of Visio Divina (contemplation of an image) during this meditation.

If you come, you have a choice of:
1) listening ahead of time
AND/ OR
2) listening with your phone while walking and pausing,

to hear the recorded portions of the meditation which guide you into relationship with 7 different encounters in nature, contemplating nature to listen/see/witness what Word of God may be offered to you.

• We will begin with a grounding and centering together at the Farmhouse at 9:30am. PLEASE arrive by 9:20.
• Then go out on the land, each our own way, to experience what the Spirit of Life may reveal to each of us through the expressions of nature.
• We’ll meet back at the Farmhouse at 11:15 for a time of sharing and closing prayer, to finish by noon.

Please respond to Earth & Spirit Mission Group if you plan to attend.
