Lectio Naturae–Waking Up (a monthly series)
2026-08-18 10:30 - 12:00 | Sophia Spirituality Center, 751 S. 8th Street, Atchison, KS, 66002
Journey 1

Zoom

Register

Using Living In an Icon as our monthly guide, we will learn about and put into practice lectio naturae (think of lectio divina, but with nature rather than scripture), to help us in waking up and beginning the process of truly learning to see. Every day presents us many opportunities to encounter and learn more about God, but all too often we fail to recognize them when they come our way. As Israel Baal Shem (c1698-1760) was said to have stated:

“The world is full of wonders and miracles but people take their little hands and cover their eyes and see nothing.”

The exercises in this first part of our journey encourage us to uncover our eyes, wake up from our existential naps, and engage with the world around us.

*For these sessions, we will be using Living in an Icon, which you can either purchase for yourself, or we can order and send to you for an additional cost of $17–just make a note as you register. Subsequent session dates, gathering the third Tuesday of each month: September 15, October 20, November 17, December 15.

Please register by August 14.

After receiving your registration, you will receive a confirmation email from us which will include your invoice. We never want our retreat costs to be prohibitive to anyone who wants to attend our programs so we are pleased to offer scholarships. Fill out our simple scholarship request form now!
