“This earth we are riding keeps trying to tell us something with its continuous scripture of leaves.” -William Stafford

Come spend a day of reflection and retreat at the Peace and Spirituality Center, a lovely set-apart place that shares space with a magnificent second growth forest and the lapping edges of Lake Washington. Here we will engage in a liturgical rhythm that will invite a deep remembrance that the community of creation was God’s first sacred text, that within the natural world we can participate in a holy reading that profoundly connects us to ourselves, the more-than-human world, and the Divine. Come away for a few hours to sink into the scripture of creation!

Is your sense of the sacred feeling stunted? Are you feeling disconnected from the rhythms and seasons of the natural world? Do you desire a deep feeling of communion with the whole community of creation? Then it is time to rewild your wonder! Respond to this call to seek the sacred within the text of the natural world and recover your feral faith on Whidbey Island for this day long retreat with Mary DeJong at the Whidbey Institute's Storyhouse, a nurturing cabin surrounded by legacy forest and the whispers of wild life half a world away from the urban hustle and bustle.
