Hoelting to lead spiritual retreat
Kurt Hoelting, clergyman, meditation teacher and Alaska wilderness guide, will lead a retreat May 1-3 at St. Mary's Sewanee. In 2008, he made a vow to go car-free for a full year and to stay within a 60-mile radius of his home in Puget Sound. He did this as a conscious response to climate change and as a renewed declaration of allegiance to his place of birth.
Drawing upon his 25 years of Zen practice, he will lead an exploration of contemplative practice as a resource for both personal and ecological healing in a deeply wounded world.
For more information on the retreat, visit www.stmaryssewanee.org. Cost is $250 for residential or $140 for commuter.
