Stories the Land Holds: Renewal and Care

The Land Speaks: Stories the Land Holds
a six-part series presented by
Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Can the land speak—and if we listen, what might we hear? Together, we’ll explore how the histories held in the neighborhood lands between the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers have shaped our shared life today. Embedded in the rock and soil are traces of what has lived, moved, and changed over billions of years, as well as more recent human stories: Who has called this place home? Who has been welcomed, excluded, or displaced? How have these realities shaped us—and how might they guide us toward living in harmony with one another and the Earth, our common home?
All are welcome. Events are free; no sign-up required.

Join us for a restorative experience with certified forest guide Leigha Horton, co-founder of Silvae Spiritus, a meditative nature retreat near Finlayson, Minnesota.

This event will take place both inside and outside.
