The Celtic Pilgrimage: A Daily Journey to the Sacred
Saturday, March 19, 2011 – St. Placid Benedictine Priory, Lacey, WA – 9:15am-3PM. Cost: $60

Perhaps we are all pilgrims yearning for mountaintop experiences, whether they occur in a distant land or in our own backyards. In this retreat we’ll weave harp music, Celtic wisdom, poetry, and story, nature connection practices, and spacious time for solitude and discernment to nourish our spirits and open our hearts to a sacred intimacy that can be found in ‘ordinary time’–the everyday. We will then create daily rituals for finding and conversing with this inherent holiness in our own lives.
Participants will be asked to bring: journal and writing instrument, sack lunch, comfortable clothes and shoes for walking outdoors.
