Join me for a group contemplative experience in nature.

Recalibrate, and breathe peace into your soul and body! 

 

Every day I walk in a wonderful small patch of forest. It has become my sanctuary place where I unload my cares, wrestle through thoughts, pray through my pain, and reconnect with how to love well; myself, and the others in my world, near and far.

​

As I continue to listen to others, I hear these kinds of concerns:

​

• general pandemic malaise and discouragement

• zoom fatigue and the mindless escapism into social media

• feeling too distracted, unmotivated, depleted, and overwhelmed

• struggling to process, or know what to do with suffering we are encountering on personal /societal/global levels

• yearning for more meaningful in-person connections 

 

Over time, a vision to create a forest retreat began to form, to help others to reboot and return to place of being ‘lighter-hearted’ by ‘being present’ with themselves, creation, others and God. I think so many of us are yearning to find and connect to this kind of deep inner peace.

Throughout the years I’ve been able to learn and use so many helpful meditative and contemplative practices and tools gleaned from a vast variety of sources and contexts, like community healing rituals (Indonesia and Malawi) and  hospital chaplaincy (CHEO), as well as ones  found in contemplative tradition.
