Refugia Retreats invites you to a day retreat on The Ways of Water: Learning form Water in Times of Change on May 31 at Spiritwood Retreat Centre.
Water is essential for life; making up 60% of the human body and covering 70% of the Earth’s surface. The rich biodiversity of beings on this planet exists in large part due to the sacred life blood that is clean water. Water is a shapeshifter who is in constant, dynamic relationship with the beings around it. Whether carving depths, creating muck and mud, freezing lakes, or as flowing sustenance, water is fluid and always evolving. In times of immense uncertainty, with challenges to our ecosystems, communities, and bodies, how can deepening a relationship with water teach us about radical presence, shaping and being shaped by change, and strengthening connection with ourselves, our communities, and the more than human world? What can we as humans learn from water about how to be in right relationship, how to flow with and find spaces of stillness within change, how to allow ourselves to change? How can the gentle and sometimes fierce power of water teach us to be attentive to the conditions of our lives?
Join us to explore what surfaces when we pause to listen.
