Our Spiritual Connection in Nature

Programming for Backpacking Weekend 

This weekend retreat we will delve into aspects of spiritual connection including…  

  1. Connection with Nature - as we venture into the Nantahala National Forest

  2. Healing of Self - we will focus on contemplation, centering and mindfulness to connect our inner selves with nature

  3. Spiritual Practice- regardless of your religion or lack or religion, a spiritual practice could be a daily practice of gratitude

  4. Pilgrimage to Sacred Places- at DHP we feel the forests are sacred places and we honor the land.


These are principles of shamanism that we will use to explore our spiritual connection to and in  nature 

We will provide opportunities to learn and practice mindfulness, centering and contemplation

There will be time for journaling, sharing and individual spiritual direction

We will practice silence as a path to our inter spiritual selves
