Diocesan Workshop : ReCreation – A Model for 45-Minute Outdoor Retreats for All Ages

The Rev. Melissa Earley, Vicar, St. George Episcopal Mission, Leadville

Through ReCreation we offer short contemplative experiences outdoors for all ages. The purpose of ReCreation isn’t to get people to come to church, but to meet people where they are — outdoors — and provide tools for them to connect with the Holy. In the workshop, we will share the basic outline of our ReCreation events and the practices and prayers that have worked well for us. Participants will have the opportunity to do some of the contemplative practices as well as begin to brainstorm what might work in their contexts.
