Gardening as a Spiritual Practice

Presented by Laura McEvoy

Explore gardening as a opportunity to practice patience and presence. Gardens, altars of the Earth, provide a sacred space to heal, play and restore. By co-creating with Mother Earth we transform and transcend, experiencing the "oneness" with all of life. We'll examine natures' rhythms and the gifts offered by each season. Wear comfortable clothing, as we will spend a small portion of our time outdoors to honor the beauty of the Wisdom House grounds.

Cost is $15
