Theme of Retreat – Imagining a New World:
Restoring Bio-Diversity
Let us dream: see, choose, act and hope. We belong to Mother earth, and cannot simply live at her expense; our relationship with her is reciprocal. Dream your future actions. Based on “Let us Dream: The Path to a Better Future” by Pope Francis, 2020
The retreat includes:
- The Interwoven Roles of Fungi, Plants, Animals
- Beavers Create Wetlands With 90% More Diversity
- UN Biodiversity Agreement of 30% of Earth By 2030
- Time in Solitude
- Discerning God’s Gifts And Our Reciprocation
- Sharing
