Earth Matters : Bodily Being
Led by Carla Grosch-Miller
In this time of ecological crisis, our bodily being - interdependent with other creatures and creation – gives us tools to survive and thrive, meeting the challenges of the day.
Drawing on neuroscience, scripture, poetry and music, we will explore bodily being in sessions including
- Here we are
- Breath
- Grief
- Gratitude
- Wonder
This is a silent retreat with addresses and it will culminate in a Service of Holy Communion.
