Daily Nourishment

"Stones are an icon of grace; they reveal to me a face of the Divine that endures and is ever-patient with the world’s unfolding.The endless burdens we carry and the stories we tell ourselves that pull us away from the divine creatures we have been created to be are what get us in our own way. "

--- Christine Valters Paintner, PhD Earth, Our Original Monastery: Cultivating Wonder and Gratitude through Intimacy with Nature

The next time you are among stones or trees, can you imagine laying your heavy burdens down and letting the mountains or seas carry them?

Writing with the Ancestors

with Christine Valters Paintner

Saturday, October 30, 2021

9-12 Pacific

12-3 Eastern

5-8 pm Ireland/UK time

Join us for this 3-hour online mini-retreat in time outside of time. The days around late October and early November are especially sacred in the Celtic tradition, when the veil between worlds is thin. The Christian tradition celebrates November as the month of the dead. It is a threshold time, when the old falls away and the new is coming into birth. When heaven and earth kiss. As the nights grow ever darker in the northern hemisphere we are invited to listen for the voices of the saints and ancestors.
