"Trees act in ways that connect themselves to the earth as well as reaching out to provide support back to the earth. When trees grow together in a community, even if they are not from the same family, they will find ways to shade, protect and support their fellow trees. We will use this metaphor to explore our own spiritual lives, as well as the spiritual lives of those around us from diverse spiritual communities."
This classes is free and open to the public
"“We must stop looking at life as if we humans are at the top of everything. There’s spirit in everything, not just in people. If the Creator made it, there is spirit in it. And if it has spirit in it, it has a part to play in creation." Dan, Lakota Elder from The Wolf at Twilight by Kent Nerburn from Trilogy Series
