Sacred Seeing/Visio Divina: Exploring our true self while connecting to nature, a retreat day on Thursday, July 21st from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Florissante Mansion, 4036 Lyons Falls Road, Lyons Falls.

In our rush to do, we often do not leave time to just be. The 24/7, multi-tasking demands of life mask our ability to discover the knowledge deep within our souls. This retreat will engage us in the search for knowing what is deepest within us by hearing stories, reflecting and spending time in nature on the beautiful grounds of the Florissante Mansion in Lyons Falls.

In the beauty of nature we are able to connect with our own deep truth. Visio Divina or sacred seeing invites us to see the world in a deeper way, walking in nature with a camera (or the camera on your phone) gives new perspectives and opens us to imagine what seeing with the eyes of our hearts has to teach us.

Retreat Hosts are Katherine Ziemke and Naomi Kelly. Kathy’s talk will focus on rediscovering the language of the soul and will give us some tools for seeking the inner landscape of our hearts. Naomi will introduce the concept of Visio Divina, sacred seeing. There will also be a tea meditation, with a delicious lunch in grand surroundings. This is a Weaving Home event.

There is limited space and the cost is $45 per person. Dress for the weather, and bring a journal if you like, we will also provide some. There are scholarships available. Please contact Naomi at naomikelly58@gmail.com to register.
