The final day of the course on Ecology and Sprituality led b Peter Hay. An experiential touch.

Here is a group photo from the Council of All Beings that was held today.

The experience is designed for the participants to embody another being in the natural world so as to encourage a sense of deeper wonder and awe and interconnection. As Pope Francis claims in Laudato Si we form a sacred communion with all of life. Thomas Berry a Passionist Priest and prolific writer in ecological spirituality claims we are a communion of subjects not a collection of objects and to tell the story, the deep story of something is to tell the story of everything.

In the Council each participant not only gave voice to their being but they also reflected on their being’s deep evolutionary story.
