2026-04-25 09:30 - 16:00 | Bon Secours Retreat & Conference Center, 1525 Marriottsville Rd,, Marriottsville, MD, 21104, United States
Deepening Connections, Weaving Reciprocity
In this week of Earth Day celebrations, we’re invited to remember and reweave ever-deeper, sacred connections to the living world around us. Our souls long to reclaim full communion with all life, to re-establish rich relationships too-often hidden beneath cultural expectations, distractions, and chaotic times.
As we open to deepening connections to the land and lives around us — our kith and kin — we also open to beauty, joy, wisdom, and gratitude. And within us awakens a sense of loving generosity toward those who have given so much. We see that we live within an ecosystem, participate in a cycle of reciprocity, and are called to support mutual well-being.
Join us on this day-long retreat to slow our busy minds, tune our senses to the more than human life around us, and remember that all are held within a living, sacred web. Our day will include opportunities for shared conversation, contemplative silence, and wandering the paths outdoors. Your guide will offer contemplative practices to deepen your spiritual practice and encourage connecting to the beauty and wisdom of the sacred community in which we live. Lunch is included. Guided by Leah Rampy.
