Earth Connection Retreat

Greening your Spirit at the Summer Solstice

Date: Monday, June 30: 10am-3pm

Please arrive by 9:45am.

Focus on Earth Connection and Summer Solstice:

An 11th Century mystic named Hildegard of Bingen taught about viriditas, the greening energy of life. Her word is a combination of both truth and greening. The Summer Solstice is a perfect time to connect with the viriditas in the land and in your own body and spirit. We will engage in Forest Bathing and practices with options to engage poetry and sacred viewing of the land called Terra Divina to connect with this vitality.
