This June, we were pleased to welcome Payton Hoegh, Program Director of The Center for Spirituality in Nature, to share Summer: Fertility, Abundance and Rest, one of the five seasonal walk guides offered by The Center for Spirituality in Nature. Payton joined us to highlight the resource and to discuss ways in which it can be used both individually and in community. Those who registered received a special code to access this guide at no cost.

Summer: Fertility, Abundance and Rest offers a step-by-step guide to either leading a spiritual two to three-hour nature walk in summer, or taking a solo walk, wherever you might live. It takes you through the community gathering, including background information on spirituality in summer, a primer on honoring the summer solstice, suggested spiritual practices, quotes, solo time and exploratory questions. It also gives information on what to bring, and some leader tips. While this guide is oriented towards group leadership, it can be easily adapted for a solo wander.
