The 4 Elements Guided Meditation
To live in connection with the earth is to remember that we belong to creation, not above it. And to live rhythmically is to honor the natural cycles of rest and renewal, death and resurrection, that the earth and Jesus model so faithfully for us. Join us in celebration of this sacred relationship by engaging in a 4 Elements Guided Meditation.

This is what our first virtual mini retreat in all about— setting aside a little time and space right where you find yourself, and taking pause to retreat; no travel required.

The weather had it’s own ideas of what the day would be like…
Keeping Vigil With Jesus

This is where many of us want to stop short. We may find ourselves thinking, I’ve already surrendered. I’ve already let go. I’ve already ‘given something up’. Do I really have to die? Do I really have to be like Him “in His death,” as it says in Philippians 3:10?
