Re-Rooting Towards Our Mother: Earth Day Practices
This earth day, you are invited to commune with our creature kin and turn towards the caring embrace of the natural world.
Time & Location
Apr 22, 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM
Hickory Hill Bloomington St Entrance, 1439 E Bloomington St, Iowa City
About the Event
Our modern, technology-enhanced pace often has us feeling dis-connected from our natural world. Join us in re-connecting with the earth's presence and attuning to our inherent belonging. Walk through practices meant to ground you firmly within this ecosystem and leave knowing you can continue to turn towards these traditions in your daily life.
We will create handmade journals to assist us in deepening our work, walk through guided meditation, and other earth based practices as we gently explore the forest and its inhabitants.
