Re-inhabiting Paradise: Desert Spirituality and Contemplative Ecology
Re-inhabiting Paradise: Desert Spirituality and Contemplative Ecology
January 11, 2025 @ 9:30 am – 3:30 pm CST
The desert mothers and fathers recognized that through Christ the cosmos was created anew, and thus they practiced living Paradise in the desert. Highlighting the connection between contemplation and ecology, this retreat will focus on early monastic teachings and practices that inform and support our journey toward transformed and restored relationships within the community of creation.
