Relaxing in Nature: Outdoor Listening, Movement, and Meditation Practices

“But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you.” - Job 12:7-8

“Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Earth our Mother who sustains and governs us…” - St. Francis of Assisi

Being in nature can provide a felt sense of spiritual peace, connection and renewal. Time spent in nature is also a powerful stress-reliever with measurable benefits that include decreased heart rate, blood pressure and sympathetic nerve activity.

Our weekend retreat will be led by Elizabeth Lewis. Come explore the healing and renewing practices of listening, walking and gazing nature meditation within the peaceful and inspiring beauty of St. Anthony’s Spirituality Center’s water and woods. Wear comfortable shoes; plan for rain or shine.

Check-In begins at 3:00 pm on Friday, followed by orientation at 5:45 and supper at 6:00. The retreat concludes after the noon meal on Sunday. The investment for the weekend retreat is $240 and includes lodging in a regular room and six meals.
