Inner Peace and Caring for Creation

This Saturday, March 29, I was one of 3 speakers at a Caring for Creation program hosted by St. Dunstan’s Episcopal Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Karen Watkins, a Master Gardener, talked about Pollinators and how to recognize and protect them. Sarah Cross, who runs Across the Prairie native plant nursery, spoke about all the benefits of gardening with Native Plants.

 

I talked about Caring for Creation and how all of Creation is so essential to our well-being. As usual, I forgot to turn on the recording at the beginning, but the only thing missing is the introduction.

 

This recording does not include our usual Sunday evening guided meditation but does discuss Forest Bathing and the benefits of “meditating with Trees”! After my talk, several people told me they wanted to go hiking with me in the nearby “Old Growth Forests” and try meditating with a Tree !!!

 

We had a great time! The 2 native plant nurseries who brought plants, sold more than half their inventory !!! When we planned this Saturday morning program, we had no idea how many people might show up. So, everyone was delighted with the turnout and the response.

 

I will post a guided meditation next Sunday. I am sure everyone can manage an Inner Peace Meditation this evening. Have a Wonderful Week and spend some time anywhere you can out in Creation, even if it is only for an hour. You will be so glad that you did … !!!
