Eremos Summer Interlude Series 2022
Join us for our six free 60-minute programs.
Step away from your daily routine to experience a contemplative exploration of our relationship with this sacred planet we call home. “Time in nature” is often the number one way people de-stress and feel closer to God.
Join us for as many of the sessions you can this summer, as each facilitator explores a different way to connect with the wisdom and healing we can receive when out in nature, enjoying earth’s bounty in our meals, or contemplating how to support Mother Earth now.
