Fri 6:30 Dinner thru Sun lunch
$340
Like never before in the history of humanity we are aware of the oneness of the earth and that what we do to a part we do to the whole. And like never before we are becoming aware that our wellbeing as an earth community and as a human race will come in relationship to one another as nations and as religious traditions and distinct species rather than in separation or isolation from one another. In the Celtic tradition the Spirit is the Life-Force that comes from the very Heart of the Universe. It is the essence of everything that has being. It is the breath of the human soul. So the deeper we move in the mystery of the earth, and the deeper we move in the mystery of the human soul, the closer we come to the Spirit. And the more open we are to the Spirit the more united we will be with the deepest energies of the earth and the innermost currents of the human soul.
One: the Spirit, the Earth, and the Human Soul will be a weekend of presentations and sharing, of chant and meditation, in which we will reflect on Celtic spirituality as a way of deepening our consciousness of the earth’s sacredness and our commitment to the unity of the human soul.
