What is it?
In this practice we offer our listening and attunement to the land as a gift and receive the gift of that listening, in reciprocity. An opportunity to open to guidance and shift our orientation away from human supremacy towards all the beings in creation. Held in a circle of community sharing our stories, centering our relationship with earth and the holy in nature.
Flow of the day
