SUMMARY:Ecological Spirituality: New Horizons for the 21st Century Retreat at Prairiewoods (hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:9 am. – 1 p.m. each day. Come spend the mornings with us as we welcome Diarmuid O’Murchu online from Ireland. Spend the afternoon and evenings in reflection at Prairiewoods or in your own home.  \n\n\n\nMost of us are not aware of the fact that we live within the context of a world-view (a way of being in the world and understanding it). Thanks to new scientific insights of the 20th century\, our sense of the world has expanded enormously.  \n\n\n\nFor over 50 years now\, we have been inspired by geologian Thomas Berry and others on the pioneering work of the New Universe Story. How to ground that vision—ecologically and spiritually—remains a formidable challenge\, the aspects of which will be explored in this retreat/workshop.  \n\n\n\nCome spend the mornings with us as we welcome Diarmuid O’Murchu online from Ireland.
