Sacred Connections in Nature

  • Barrington United Methodist Church 98 Algonquin Road Barrington, IL, 60010 United States (map)

A morning for adults to explore the subtle, wondrous connections that exist between the natural world and our spiritual lives

Location: Barrington United Methodist Church - we will be meeting both inside and outside on the beautiful campus grounds

Being in nature awakens us to the sacred dimensions of life, and connects us to wellsprings of curiosity, compassion, and resilience within. Nature nurtures our creativity and arouses the freedom to express our true selves.

This morning workshop is an invitation to encounter these sacred connections in nature. The morning will begin with a safely distanced group gathering in “The Well” meeting room, where we will introduce a few approaches for awakening to the wisdom of the natural world.  We will enrich the experience by moving outside, as a group and solo, with an opportunity to explore the lawns, fields, savannahs, and marshes of the campus. The morning will end with a brief closing gathering back at The Well.

There is no charge for this event, sponsored by Barrington United Methodist Church and Boundless Compassion.

** Participants, please plan to wear comfortable clothes for being outdoors and bring: a journal and pen, sunscreen, bug spray, sturdy shoes, and a water bottle.
