A Four Seasons Program

Join naturalist, writer, artist, and teacher Clare Walker Leslie for an opportunity to sink into the earth, air, sky, and mountains. Gather a deeper feeling and connection to the land around you that you can carry beyond this weekend. These days will foster our relationship to and gratitude for the natural world as a support for reflection and a source of creative vision and inspiration. We will observe in both silence and in conversation, learning some of the ecology of the land at this particular time of year. We will also record in various simple forms of word and image. Bring your own writing tools, a journal, and a shawl to sit on for outdoor meditation.

Four Seasons Program: Earth & Sky

The retreat groups for Being with the Land and Contemplative Astronomy will join together for two short sessions over the weekend to share in exploration of our connection to both earth and sky. This collaboration is part of our new Four Seasons program—an exciting series of interdisciplinary, nature-based programs bringing together the expertise of scientific disciplines and wisdom traditions to celebrate and understand our sacred Earth.
