THE WAY OF CHRISTIAN CONTEMPLATION
Nothing in all creation is so
like God as stillness.   

Meister Eckhart
 
   
WALKING WITH GOD Through beautiful Ortinola Estate, Maracas Valley Your guides are Russell Nath and Ian Benjamin This will be a 2½ hr walk in silence at a contemplative pace. We begin with a short talk, an outline of the protocols, and a 10 min. period of Centering Prayer.
 
 
   
Wear long pants and sneakers (you will be walking through some forested areas and shallow streams), and a hat for the sun. Those inclined to have a dip in a river pool, wear shorts. Drinking water, sunscreen etc. are personal decisions.   At the end of the walk a simple breakfast will be served in silence. After breakfast the group will be invited to share their experience – feelings & insights
