Earthy Life

About
Pope Francis reminds us that, "We ourselves are dust of the earth (cf. Gen 2:7); and our bodies are made up of her elements; we breathe her air and we receive life and refreshment from her waters" (LS para 2, 2015).Across this two day experience we will consider our personal relationship with Earth. The layers of our planet and the ongoing geological processes which form Earth will act as a metaphor. We will draw inspiration from Teilhard de Chardin's description of being a terrestrial and child of Earth, and from Julian Tenison Woods' love of rocks and Earth.
Processes will be varied. Time will be given to personal reflection, group conversation, through writing, photography, collage and other forms of creative expression.
