The Gift of Awareness

Awareness is the basis of everything. Awareness of the natural world is essential to well
being of ourselves and our planet. We will take care of that which we love. This “Day Apart” will introduce
participants to our connection with the environment. We will begin with the Native American Thanksgiving Prayer,
giving thanks for each aspect of creation. We will learn the seven points of awareness, realize that we are the natural
world, not separate from it. We will reflect on sacred scripture that affirms God’s creation.
We will spend time outdoors playing games which will enhance our awareness and deepen our love for nature. We
will write in our journals about how these experiences impact us and what we can do next, and we will hold prayerful
space for how God changes us when we open ourselves to God’s presence. We will become aware, and transformed
by that awareness.
