Ancient Wings: Soul. Migration. Renewal.
Event date: March 12th and 13th, 2010
Within the magnificent beauty and rhythms of Sun and Earth, we humans are fortunate to witness Creation’s Migration Events all over the world. Certainly one of the most ancient, captivating, spiritual and accessible of these is the annual northward migration of some half-million Sandhill Cranes through the Platte River Valley each spring, along with hundreds of thousands of other migrating waterfowl, all drawn to their summer nesting grounds farther north.
In an act of pure imagination, Countryside Community United Church of Christ in Omaha invites you to “migrate” with us March 12 and 13, 2010, to that portion of the Central Flyway which is found in mid-Nebraska along a 50-mile stretch of the Platte River between Hastings and Kearney.
Designed to call us together in community, challenge us in environmental stewardship, and lift us in spiritual discovery, this migration retreat is for families, couples, singles… people of all ages who can tackle the outdoors in March. The retreat offers key pieces which are important for the whole experience. However, much free time is also built in, affording you hours of discovery and refl ection in “Crane Cathedral,” under the skies and on the sandbars of the Platte.
Be bold with us! Migrate out into Nature with eyes and ears open, heart attuned. Migrate away from everyday “normal” to be stirred anew. Migrate into new knowledge, humility and gratitude. The birds respond to an ancient inner compass, calling them forth each year; we invite you to be called forth as well.
Space is limited! Register soon!
