Sustainable Agriculture Conference in State College
Caretakers of Creation: The Christian Spirituality and
Practice of Living with the Land. This retreat is a three-day immersion into the Christian
experience of God's power and presence expressed in nature, and our
role as caretakers of Creation. Each day will include time for
personal and communal prayer, quiet reflection, and focused study of
the natural world. In our first day, we will enter an atmosphere of
prayer and attentiveness, learning to listen deeply to God's presence
in both Scripture and Creation. During our second day, we will explore
and enter into new ways of relating to the land, plants, and animals
through the teachings of the Biblical, ancient Christian, and Christian
monastic traditions. Our final day together will emphasize the
Christian calling to care for Creation. We will study classical and
contemporary Christian approaches to land stewardship, and learn
practical ways we can each work to honor God by protecting, healing and
restoring the beauty of Creation. Overnight lodging and all meals
included.
Specific skills taught will include:
-The monastic practice of Lectio Divina (sacred reading)
-Practices for enhanced sensory awareness
-Tools for inter-species communication & kinship with plants and animals -Benedictine models of land stewardship -Care of the land in ancient Israel -How to restore and enhance damaged soil -Wild edible and medicinal plants, tree identification, and other nature study
