Meditative Writing: Growing Our Relationship with Sacred Earth Through Celtic Symbols

For those of you who enjoy writing, our third Meditative Writing series, will focus on Celtic Spirituality. Sacred trees, holy “thin” places, shamrocks, and infinite knots are all symbols of Celtic Spirituality. The Celts had a love of nature, and an awareness of the unity of creation. They had a strong sense of place and knew the importance of the land, of roots and identity. Come explore the life-lines of your life in this prayerful, reflective space, where you will have ample time to write, and share if you wish.
