About The Event
In this retreat, we will consider some of the natural wonders of the Earth that I experienced during my sabbatical and reflect upon how we see God’s Beauty and greatness through that creation and its design. We will ponder how God has surrounded us with beauty as grace, support, and teacher. We will also explore some of the damage that humankind is doing to the Earth through climate change, poor industrial practices, misuse, and greed. Through thought and word, experience and image, we will meditate upon our encounters with God through nature’s icons and contemplate on our roles as God’s stewards and co-creators.
