Outreach

Zoom book discussion group. Join us for four consecutive Tuesday evenings (September 1, 8, 15 and 22) from 6-7:30pm Pacific Time for a discussion of Gerald May’s 2007 book The Wisdom of Wilderness: Experiencing the Healing Power of Nature. In this book, May describes his experiences in nature — what he learned about himself as a spiritual being and his relationship with God through solitude in a natural setting. It is hoped that participants in the book discussion series will want to try out camping “alone” in the backcountry for themselves. The first zoom session covers the Forward, Preface, and Chapters 1 and 2. Please read these chapters prior to the zoom meeting. During this first session, we will also cover details and offer advanced registration for the backcountry tent camping retreat. The discussion leader will be Mary Litch. For questions about the book discussion group content, contact the retreat leader at mlitch@stgertrudes.org.
