Terra Divina, a divine beholding of the Earth, is a practice of immersing oneself in the rhythms of the natural world through presence and contemplation. So often we live our daily lives in an illusion of separateness from these sacred rhythms, finding ourselves ungrounded, in exile, and grasping for something we can’t quite name. During this Lenten weekend retreat we will practice seeing, remembering, and re-centering through contemplative prayer, solo wandering, council, somatic movement, and song. We will: - become Reacquainted with the land and ourselves, recognizing our relationship to Place as a sacred one. - Remember that we are not separate, but woven into a vast ecological web of Community - Recover a tradition of deep reciprocal relationships within this Community. - Embody and embrace themes of Lent in our circle, recognizing the seasonal rhythms present in our hearts, bodies and in the Land. The season of Lent is marked by prayer, fasting, and wandering the desolate places within us. During this retreat, you are invited to enter that wilderness, in surrender to the wild leading and tending of Spirit.
