Integrating Nature and Body in Contemplative Practice

This day-long immersion centers around the relationship of the physical world, with the journey of transformation in Christ. Participants will practice disciplines for integrating the body in the journey of contemplative transformation. We will also learn methods of prayer and meditation that support intimacy with God’s presence in the natural world.
