SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 2024, 9 A.M.–2:30 P.M. PDT, in person only
PLEASE NOTE: Due to unforeseen circumstances, Dr. Raining’s visit has been postponed. It will be rescheduled in Fall 2024, date TBA.
We live in a world that’s often disconnected from the natural world, and yet instinctively most of us feel the greatest connection to God when we’re outside in creation… and no wonder! Research shows that mindfully spending time in nature is powerful medicine for the body, mind, and soul. Benefits include reduced stress, heart rate and blood pressure, and improved concentration, creativity, and mood. This class will get you outside and into the presence of God. The Rev. Hillary Raining, Ph.D. is a certified Forest Therapy Guide and served as the Saint Mark’s Theologian-in-Residence in 2022. She will also preach at morning services on Sunday, March 17.
