God started revealing divinity from the first moment of creation, and nature is still the best mirror of the soul--for those who are freed to see it.
Fr. Richard is convinced that much of the religious crisis of the West is its separation from the natural world and the cycles of nature, which has made much of our religious teaching fall on very thin soil.
Let's "recreate the seer" so we can recognize our own soul in the things that God has made (Romans 1:20).
The retreat will be a combination of lecture, prayer, and guided quiet time in nature.

About the Conference Hosts: The Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC), located in Albuquerque,New Mexico, was founded in 1987 by Franciscan Father Richard Rohr who saw the need for a training/formation center that would allow spiritually seeking people to balance social action with contemplation, and contemplation with social action. Committed to offering a constructive message of the Gospel that crosses boundaries of religion, ethnicity, social class and gender, the CAC provides numerous programs and resources aimed at offering hope, inspiration and spiritual challenge.
