The beauty and grandeur of nature touches each one of us.
From panoramic vistas to the tiniest living form, nature is a
constant source of wonder and awe. It is also a continuing
revelation of the divine. CCCB 2003 Pastoral Letter on the

Jericho House is an
ecumenical and inter-faith
youth leadership, justice
and spirituality centre
that welcomes adults and
whose primary purpose
is to offer education in
leadership, ecology, social
justice and spirituality. THIS
purpose is enhanced by the
Jericho House’s practice of
hospitality which creates
an inclusive and supportive
environment for all
visitors.
• Outdoor prayer and movement meditation with gentle and progressive
introduction to Chakra T’ai Chi Chih
• A daily conference that weaves the wisdom of our embodied spiritual
nature with related insights about the dynamics and powers of the universe,
the mysticism of earth, and the creation-centered spirituality of mystics
within the Christian tradition (Hildegard of Bingen, Francis of Assisi,
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and others), and geologians, theologians,
visionaries of our time (Thomas Berry, Elizabeth Johnson, Brian Swimme
and others).
• Readings, questions and scriptural passages for reflection
• Music, song and poetry to complement each conference
• Abundant silent time
• Optional art expression, sacred circle dance and walks outdoors as ways
within which to integrate the theme of each day
• An optional daily sharing circle to receive from each other
• Contemplative closing to each day
