Do you want to live our 7th principle more deeply? Do you wish to deepen your spiritual connection to the Earth?
You’re invited to join members of the Unitarian Church of Vancouver (UCV) for their spring session of Sacred Earth - Wellspring Reads. During this course participants will read, meditate and share our reflections on Robin Wall Kimmerer’s beautiful book, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants. A total of six sessions will be held on the 1st and 3rd Monday evenings of March, April, and May, 7:00-8:30 PM on Zoom. This will be facilitated by Martha Saunders of Vancouver Unitarians. Register HERE.
Sacred Earth is the first program in “UU Wellspring Reads,” six-session programs that provide foundational experience that are dear to Unitarian Universalists’ hearts.
We will find awe and wonder as we explore the beauty and simplicity of nature, and we will learn to explore and care for our spirits to sustain us in climate justice work.
Sacred Earth combines the wisdom of indigenous understandings of reciprocity with the sacred earth, and with spiritual practices that connect our spirit to nature. The experiences, reflections and discussions strive to engage participants deeply in the web of life and your Unitarian Universalist faith.
The work will be personal. As participants move through the reflections and practices, you may all find spiritual healing by creating a more intimate relationship with the natural world.
The sessions, two books, readings and spiritual practices are the core of the Sacred Earth experience.
