A Morning Reflection on the Hidden Life of Trees: Reflections from Peter Wohlleben’s Book
Saturday, August 19th 9:30 am – Noon
Suggested Donation: $5
Facilitated by Sr. Anne Lythgoe
What might we learn from the forest about community, caring, death and regeneration? Inspired by the international bestseller The Hidden Life of Trees, by Peter Wohlleben, Dominican Sister of Peace Anne Lythgoe will explore the interconnectedness of ecosystems, and lessons trees learn to survive and thrive as beautiful pillars of the forest. The morning will include some reflections on aspects of the Hidden Life of Trees, time for quiet communion with Shepherd’s Corner landscape, and group conversation.
