Christian Ecology Link Retreat 2010

Gardening in Gethsemane :

being with nature on the way to resurrection

A Storm of Hope retreat weekend

15-17 October 2010

Ringsfield Hall, near Beccles, Suffolk NR3 8JR

We flourish as creation flourishes; before the march of monoculture we too are diminished. In 2010, the International Year of Biodiversity, the UN invites us to celebrate our dependence on creation. This weekend we will gather on behalf of this fragile web of life. Midway between two Easters, we will walk the way of the cross with Jesus, its origin and goal, and so join in renewing the face of the Earth.

During this retreat weekend we will share a Passover Supper, follow the Easter story through the Passion to the exultation of Resurrection, experience time apart in the peaceful grounds of Ringsfield Hall, reflect on the state of the natural world, and find hope and inspiration for action to renew the face of the earth.
