Flourishing Ways – Healing Ourselves and the World – Spirit Alive
Saturday, December 11th at 10:30 a.m via Zoom
Walks through neighbourhood areas have become increasingly valuable to many of us in these pandemic times. Toronto’s network of ravine landscapes, and the various little brooks, creeks, streams, tributaries of the Don River which run through them, are easily found through parts of Leaside, East York, North York and beyond.
This view is from the forest trail running along the compassion-rich Glenvale institutional lands, looking North across the steep gulf of BurkeBrook Ravine, with its densely treed slopes, and gently flowing stream at the bottom, over to Sunnybrook Health Sciences.
A Climate Crisis/Solutions book discussed last week by the North Toronto Cluster included this observation: “Regeneration creates, builds, and heals. Regeneration is what life has always done; we are life, and that is our focus. It includes how we live and what we do – everywhere.”
There are so many little and big things contributing to regeneration and flourishing – to the flourishing of each of our lives, to the flourishing of the life of the forest and ravine, to the flourishing of compassionate health care systems.
Lucy Burke will lead us on an illustrated (zoom) ramble through nearby areas, and invite you to consider – What are some of the things you love, that quicken your heart, that enliven your spirit, that help you flourish, thrive, and heal? What are some of the things you notice which do this for others in the world? How well do you allow yourself to connect with, take in, and support, all the goodness around and about in our shared landscapes – natural and built?
