Feel a prayer – Encountering the Divine in Nature

All Ages

with Bailey Eastwood

“If I really wanted to pray I’ll tell you what I’d do. I’d go out into a great big field all alone or into the deep, deep, woods, and I’d look up into the sky–up–up–up–into that lovely blue sky that looks as if there was no end to its blueness. And then I’d just feel a prayer.”
Join Bailey for a walk in the woods and one of their favourite Anne Shirley-inspired spiritual practices. We’ll explore some of the trails around camp (perhaps learning about some of the plants and trees around us as we go!), stopping often to “feel a prayer” in the beautiful and holy spaces we encounter.
