About the event
Hosted at the historic St. Francis Retreat Center, this guided experience invites you to slow down, tune into nature, explore deeper reflections on how nature brings peace and sense of belonging. We will practice solo wandering time, sketching and writing in our nature journals, time for sharing our experience as well as a shared meal.
We'll share a bit about the legacy of St. Francis and his relationship with the natural world, while offering an inclusive, non-denominational experience that welcomes people of all faith traditions, spiritual paths, and those with no religious affiliation.
COST: This event is offered FREE to the public, and sponsored by the St Francis Retreat Center.
What to Bring: If you have one, bring your sketchbook and pen. We will also have sketch booklets and colored pencils available.
