CHRIST OF THE FOREST: REST AND RENEWAL WITH NATURE
Presented by: Mary Frohlich, RSCJ
When Jesus saw that his disciples were becoming exhausted, he took them to the forests of Mount Hermon for rest and renewal. In a time when many are experiencing deep exhaustion, he invites us to come away for a while and reconnect with the springs of living water flowing at the heart of all life. This retreat will offer times of guided reflection, contemplative prayer, and Forest Therapy,* all centered around the theme of deepening our relationship with the One who lovingly dwells in each and every created being. The retreat will begin Friday evening with supper and conclude with Mass. Departure will be by 5 pm Saturday.
*Forest Therapy is guided time outdoors discovering and exploring our relationships with the living creatures and environments that surround us. The grounds of Thomas Berry Place (although not forested) offer a refuge of calm and natural beauty in the midst of the city.
The cost is $175 per person. This includes presentation, dinner, overnight, breakfast and lunch on Saturday.
** Additional packages for those traveling include dinner Saturday, overnight and breakfast on Sunday for $150 additional, for $325 total.
