- morning nature meditation and retreat time for adults
- a closing ceremonial time for gathering together our discoveries and our prayers of gratitude and healing for the earth
... [it's] wonderful how completely everything in wild nature fits into us, as if truly part and parent of us. The sun shines not on us, but in us. The rivers flow not past, but through us -- John Muir
Overnight lodging will be in the Retreat House or in the campground of the Rolling Ridge Study Retreat Community.
Leaders: Verle and Vivian Headings, Cheryl Hellner, Jim Hall, and Linda and Scot DeGraf.
