Kinstone and the Franciscan Spirituality Center in Lacrosse, WI have teamed up to offer this offering.
Join us at Kinstone for a unique one-day retreat honoring your personal journey and our place on this planet as we examine how each of us is an integral part of creation. St. Francis taught us that we are kin to all of creation. In this one-day retreat we will focus on his Canticle of Creation as we follow the Way of the Stones around the features of Kinstone, connecting to the Divine with each step. Each one has a message to help us examine and illuminate our inner journey and a gift to honor how far we have come. We will journal and reflect on the Divine and how our stories may be enriched and our lives may be uplifted by intentional praise. Participants will be invited to compose their own Canticle poem and take home the gifts of the Stones that will be offered along the journey. Please dress for the weather as this event will take place rain or shine, and bring sturdy walking shoes, journals, drawing materials and a mat or blanket for personal meditation times.
