Meets Friday, 7-9 p.m. and Saturday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.

In “The Enchanted Life: Unlocking the Magic of the Everyday,” author Sharon Blackie speaks to those who feel an emptiness at the heart of modern life – who long for a more authentic and connected lifestyle. As we journey through this book together over the course of the weekend, we will begin with questions about the meaning of enchantment and why it is important now. We will explore the magic of the everyday (especially in connection with the land we inhabit) and practice living life “as if it mattered” by creating a personal ritual for re-enchantment. In this sacred exploration, we will tap into the ancient wisdom that whispers through the natural world, reconnecting with the soul of the earth and the spirit within ourselves. We will close the workshop by each of us developing a “manifesto” for bringing the experience home and into our daily lives, grounding our newfound sense of wonder and purpose in spiritual practices that honor both the earth and the divine within.
Note: Please read or listen to the following chapters before the retreat: 1, 2, 5, 8, 11, 12. You’ll need to purchase the book on your own or borrow from a library. Copies are available in the FSC’s Sophia Bookstore.
