We all need to refresh our cache every once in a while. Choose your metaphor: hit the reset button, reboot, clean out the attic, whatever your favorite phrase might be. Camping out got me away from the computer, the smartphone, work, etc. It was really just me and nature with few luxuries. There was no time pressure. As usual, I had plenty of plans, but I went for quality, not quantity.

Any of us can set aside some time to be more spiritual. This group is for sharing ideas and experiences related to spiritual retreats, dedicated times and places devoted to working on our spiritual growth, development, and maturity. These can be simple - 30 minutes stolen for meditation or a nature walk - or they can be elaborate - an entire weekend miles away from friends and family. It's your spirit development, and this is Reasoned Spirituality. You decide. But whatever you decide, come share with us here.
There are no announcements yet.
Agreed. In fact, we can sneak away just about any day. I read an interesting blog piece today about making a nature walk, what the author calls a memory walk, one of your daily rituals: http://www.spiritualityhealth.com/blog/memory-walk-an-everyday-ritual-to-connect-to-nature/ . We walk daily, but it is usually not light yet. The moon and stars are our companions. We plan to change our routine once it starts getting light earlier, and perhaps we can see more of nature than the heavens.
No I don't think so - but maybe it sometimes means conceding the odd battle so you commit sufficient resources to winning the war!
Cindy and I are planning a scouting trip in the coming spring for our own retreat on the western edge of the desert; will keep you'se posted. I've already experienced a couple of sunrises out there and it's nothing short of spectacular... bringing a camera would've been a pretty smart thing ... anyway, it's already on the "packing list" for next time.
