Spirituality & Nature
February 21, 2025
2:00 PM
Nature is like a good book. A good book sits on a shelf or nightstand waiting to be read. In the same way, nature sits outside our doors and windows and waits to speak to us.
This class considers the ways we experience God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit in nature. We will explore topics like meditation and nature, the healing quality of nature, nature and mysticism, and the Spirit and the wind.
We will reflect on spirituality and nature alongside writers and naturalists like St. Francis, Thomas Merton, Annie Dillard, Mary Oliver, John Muir, and Howard Thurman. I will share lessons I learned from nature over the summer. Weather permitting, we may even go on a short walk and put what we learn into practice.
