Earth Blessings - Reweaving Connections to Kith and Kin |
Through brief teachings, reflection, small group discussions, and spacious contemplative practices, Leah Rampy will lead us on a soul journey of grief and loss over the devastation of our earth to a place of joy and possibility that is possible when we reweave our connections to kith and kin who are awaiting us. Participants will leave with contemplative practices to support their ongoing journey of love and care for the Earth and all creation.

Singing the Trees: Reweaving connections in edge times |
April 19 - 21, 2024
Location: Rolling Ridge Study Retreat, Harpers Ferry, WV Leaders: Leah and David Rampy, Lindsay McLaughlin Poised on the edge of loss, we yearn for connections that offer solace and possibility. In this place where language fails, music invites us into an ever-deeper relationship with all beings – and with our heart’s longing. Trees, our elders who have graced Earth far longer than the human family, beckon us to wisdom, beauty, and peace. Join us as we sing and chant, engage in rich conversations, embrace attentive silence around and within, and exchange priceless, intangible gifts with the trees around us. Note: You need not consider yourself a singer nor even feel that you can carry a tune; all are welcome to join in!
Offered in partnership with: Friends of Silence |
