Day-Long Deep Ecology Meditation Retreat - N.A. - (Montreat, NC)

"Paying attention is a form of reciprocity with the living world, receiving the gifts with open eyes and open heart." Robin Wall Kimmerer We humans are not apart from nature. The earth is in our very being; we are made of the stuff of creation. When we slow down and pay attention, we can connect with this universal whole-ness and allow it to nourish us. Allowing ourselves to be nourished in this way is both simple and revolutionary, because it challenges the systems of oppression that currently threaten the world that we love. About the Retreat: Saturday, March 17 2018 9am-4pm At Montreat Conference Center In this day-long retreat, we will do this very subtle and radical work of slowing down and practicing presence with the beloved earth. We will use meditation and mindfulness practices, art-making, poetry, and embodiment activities to deepen awareness and connection with ourselves and the natural world in a beautiful outdoor setting.
