You may not live near this event – but it’s a great idea for you to replicate in our own community!
Check out the Earth Examen materials within this guide.
Offered locally Oct 2 & 9 – be sure to contact Lisa if interested!
You are invited to join a private two-hour guided night hike and practice of a spiritual discipline, the Earth Examen. Come enjoy the sights and sounds of the prairie, forest, and bayou at night as a spiritual experience! Some nocturnal creatures you may see or hear are owls, bats, fireflies, raccoons, spiders, armadillos, deer, frogs, and more! The hike is suitable for kids 6+. The Earth Examen will be explained at 6 p.m., followed by check-in at the center at 6:15 p.m., and the hike at 6:30 p.m., during which you can practice the Earth Examen.
While the Earth Examen is a Christian spiritual discipline, people of all faiths & spiritual traditions will find it a deeply meaningful way to experience nature.
Due to the limited group size, you must sign up in advance to participate.
