Internationally known author and presenter on sustainability and the new cosmology will lead us in A weekend reflection process drawing from the rich biblical themes of this season, and the evolutionary insights of Thomas Berry.

This silent contemplative retreat will offer input, time for quiet reflection and optional sharing. Come experience “the coming of our Christ” through the lens of creation and deep time.

The human is the being in whom the earth has become spiritually aware, has awakened into consciousness, has become self-aware and self-reflecting. You and I are the beings in whom the earth thinks... knows... comprehends... analyzes ... rationalizes ... judges ... remembers ... chooses ... acts ... decides.
-Miriam Therese MacGillis in "The Fate of the Earth”

Cost: $200.00 (Includes retreat, room and meals)

Time: Retreat begins on the 3rd at 4:00 pm with registration, orientation and a light supper and ends the 5th following the noon meal.
