Exploring the Sacred in Nature

Exploring the Sacred in Nature

Nourish your mind, body and soul as we enter the spring season in a beautiful ancient woodland in the heart of West Yorkshire.

Through a combination of guided exercises including gentle walking and reflective writing, the day will be paced to allow a slowing down - a restful pause to support you wherever you are at in life. With opportunities to explore our relationship with ourselves and the natural world we will look at our experience of the sacred through rhythms and practices that can support everyday life. Open to all, whatever your faith background and experience, this retreat will provide space for personal reflection and sharing together, along with an endless supply of coffee and cake!

Based at the wonderful NEET project, the day will take place both within their lovely indoor space as well as in the adjoining woodland. We recommend lots of layers and waterproofs and a notebook for jotting down thoughts and ideas throughout the day.
