Tapestry of Faith: Exploring Our Values Through Poetry: A Program for High School Youth

Spiritual Preparation

Since the subject of today's workshop is nature, why not spend a little time outdoors preparing for the workshop? What do you like to do outdoors? Do you garden or hike? Do you enjoy picnics or football games? Does a thunderstorm give you a thrill? While outdoors, reflect upon important moments of your spiritual life that may have involved the natural world. Are there places or seasons that make you feel more connected to the earth than others? Is this because of a past experience?

You can ponder these questions or simply enjoy being outside, being part of the earth that sustains us all. Blessed be!
