Earth & Soul Updates, May 2024

Hello Friends of Earth & Soul, 

We are grateful to be in the midst of our May retreats and events with many of you at the moment. What a gift to be together in community sharing in teaching and spiritual practice as we listen within to how we are being called to compassionate action. 

Earth & Soul’s July events and retreats are coming soon and we would love to have you join us in person. May, July and October retreats and events are listed below, and our complete list of 2024 retreats, pilgrimages and events is on our Events Page.

Take time to pause in the coming weeks and bring your awareness to the wildness of the elements. Feel the oneness of all things within you and all around you. As you read the prayer below listen to what is stirring within you. Perhaps find a place outside and let Earth hold you. Place your hand on your heart saying, “I am here and I am listening.” What wisdom does Earth hold for you?

In the infinity of night skies
in the free flashing of lightning
in whirling elemental winds
you are God.
In the impenetrable mists of dark clouds
in the wild gusts of lashing rain
in the ageless rocks of the sea
you are God and I bless you.
You are in all things
and contained by no thing.
You are the Life of all life
and beyond every name.
You are God and in the eternal mystery I praise you.

-John Philip Newell

We are so grateful for each of you and the blessing you are in this world.

Blessings to you.

Peace,

Director of Earth & Soul
