A Nature Walk With Francis and Clare
August 16 @ 7:00 pm – August 17 @ 4:00 pm CDT
Using the theme of St. Francis’ Canticle of Creation, you are invited to a walk of gratitude within nature. Following St. Clare’s teaching, you will have an opportunity to develop a closer relationship with your natural surroundings through gazing upon a natural element, considering the expression of beauty through nature, contemplating how that beauty is mirrored within and imitating, or living out, that beauty in your daily life. You will be invited to reflect on the experience of Francis in nature as expressed in the Canticle and then make your own addition to the Canticle as a way of bringing the Franciscan heritage into modern life.
Note: Participants will be encouraged to walk outside during the retreat, rain or shine. Please bring appropriate shoes and clothing.
