Seeing the sacred presence in the land from which we came and to which we will return can help to shape us into people who walk this land with gentle steps and wise hearts. During this hands-on exploratory class, we’ll reflect on the ways we connect with the land and look into the ways we can connect with it more intimately. Through hands-on exploration, journaling, reflective reading and discussion you’ll leave this class with a new appreciation for land, our own being as ‘humus beings’ and the connections between the two. “The soil is the great connector of our lives, the source and destination of all.” — Wendell Berry, The Unsettling of America, 1977.
