Andrea Schweitzer

A Four Seasons Program

Jim Tolstrup

Throughout history, we have looked to the skies to follow the rhythm of the seasons and to ponder life’s mysteries. This workshop will reignite our passion for the stars by using interactive, kinesthetic astronomy to experience the movement of the celestial bodies. We will combine periods of contemplation; presentations of the astronomical lore from Celtic, Tibetan, and Native American traditions; and a guided walk to observe the interplay of the sun and seasons with the land. Come deepen your meditation practice and take home a personal connection to the night sky. No astronomy background required.

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.
