Journey into Healing Workshop - September
17th September 2022
I’m going out to clean the pasture spring:
I’ll only stop to rake leaves away
(and wait to watch the water clear, I may):
I sha’nt be gone long. – You come too.
In just a few lines Robert Frost has captured the essence of a Journey into Healing workshop. Participants are invited to visit the spring in their lives; to gather leaves that may have accumulated; to find some means to remove the blockage; and to do it together in a group setting. We will invite you to do your work and come together to finish it.
