Contemplation, Spirit, & Nature

It is necessary to develop a practice and way of seeing that allows us to reconnect with genuine sources of wholeness, peace, and clarity in the midst of the chronic stress and alarming socio-ecological crises that characterize our time.

In a way, the global arena has become a mirror that reflects back what’s taking place within. From a contemplative perspective, this represents a unique opportunity to sharpen a more discerning view of who we truly are that breaks through layers of self-enclosure and reactivity into the living, breathing presence that sustains us all, the Earth. Such an exercise of self-discovery involves a constant practice–a way of life–and a consequent process directed to our spiritual nature, which is nourished and guided by the sacred depths of the Earth and the magnanimous beauty of the cosmos.

In touching the sacredness of Earth within, we gain access to previously uknown inner resources of health and resilience that, amidst the crises we’re facing, serve as refuge and reminder of our awakened nature.
