The Spiritual Wisdom of Trees: Lessons from Our Elders
|
October 8-11, 2025
Time: Wednesday through Saturday Location: Montreat Conference Center, 401 Assembly Dr, Montreat, NC Hosts: Leah Rampy & Beth Norcross 
The Spiritual Wisdom of Trees explores the ancient spiritual and ecological wisdom that trees offer for living into deep connections with our human and nonhuman kin, Earth, and Divine Mystery. During our days together, we’ll engage in rich conversations in plenary sessions and small groups, take time for spacious silence and reflection with the trees, and listen for their wisdom on this beautiful land. Join us for an intellectually and spiritually transformative weekend.

Ongoing Programs
Church of the Wild ~ Two Rivers is an emerging community, meeting in the midst of and sharing with the abundant life all around us. Our intent is to deepen our connection to the Holy by being more fully present, open and available in each moment. We learn from the earth and trees, the waters and sky, and from all living beings, human and non-human. Located where the winding Shenandoah joins the majestic Potomac River, we are nurtured by beauty, silence, and communion.

Testimonial
Just wanted to let you know how much I am appreciating The Spiritual Wisdom of Trees course/exploration/journey. I am learning things I did not know, and have certainly had my awareness expanded and deepened as I continue my walks around the lake near my home. I notice much more than I used to. Thank you for your leadership in this.
Blessings, Mary
