Spirituality in Nature Group (SING) Research tell

Spirituality in Nature Group (SING)

Research tells us what we already know intuitively...we are happier and healthier, more open and feel greater compassion in nature. Our Earth heals, soothes and teaches us, and in nature we learn about wonder and beauty, sorrow and loss, unity and wholeness. We relax, we are kinder, and we breathe easier with both the human and the more-than-human world. In nature, we experience the Divine, in ourselves, and in the many critters and sentient beings around us.

Laurie Levknecht and Amanda Chapman welcome you to join them each month to meet comfortably together to explore spirit formation and ecological connection as well as to experience the Divine within various ecosystems in our local community. And a little forest bathing may be thrown in!

Forest bathing is an opportunity to absorb nature's atmosphere by walking slowly and intentionally, taking it all in - using all of one's senses. Based on the Japanese practice of shinrin yoku, forest bathing invites you to develop a reciprocal relationship with nature: a practice which may help us to de-stress and boost our health and wellbeing in a natural way.

Join us on June 21, from 4 to 8 pm, as we welcome

Join us on June 21, from 4 to 8 pm, as we welcome the new season.

The Shakti Solstice Celebration introduces a new summer activity - a community-building potluck dinner with a group discussion, guided by our newest Shakti facilitators - Sunshine and Alfro Uini.

Each month Sunshine and Alfro will guide a community discussion designed to encourage collaboration, sustainability, and social justice. (Introductions coming soon.) The theme for this month's potluck is home remedies.

In addition to our potluck dinner and discussion (6 to 7:30 pm), there also will be a special Makerspace from 4 to 5:45 pm and a fire ritual. While there is no fee to attend, we do encourage donations to the Little Free Pantry which provides free food to people with limited resources. No registration required.

What flow of water have you treasured or feared in

What flow of water have you treasured or feared in your life? Across all our lives, across human time, there has been the ever-presence of blessed water–our shared source, our precious shared future. And water shows up in our stories in a dizzying range of ways—nurturing spring or furious as the flood, wise river spirits or mysterious sea beings. To be sure, we cannot live without our essential water, so for one night we honor this life force with some powerful tales.

Join us for an elemental evening of water-themed storytelling. You won’t want to miss this aquatic story celebration, spun by some of the diverse and talented members of the Storytelling Collective—students and alumni of ETSU Master’s program of Communication and Storytelling Studies.

An opportunity to interact with the theme will be available. Raffle tickets will be sold on-site for a grand prize.

All proceeds of this event will go to support The Shakti Stewardship Program, a 16-week leadership training which emphasizes interconnectedness, equipping participants to become self- and community-leaders guided by intention, inclusion, respect, and kindness.

Registration is required. This is an 18+ event. All genders welcome.

Tickets are $20, if you wish to donate more than the sale of a ticket on-site, please do!

Registration closes 24 hours prior to the event. The registration fee is non-refundable unless the event is canceled by the facilitator.
