Groundings is a monthly lecture series offered September through May by Sacred Ground in collaboration with Loyola Spirituality Center and the Ignatian Spirituality Center at Saint Thomas More. Groundings is open to anyone interested in deepening their spirituality, their capacity for deep listening, and their contemplative engagement in our world.
Join us November 19, as Victor Klimoski invites us to explore Nature as Text and Testimony.
There is no single pathway to explore and nurture one's inner journey. What is often common for many seekers, however, is the intuitive sense that the natural world provides a language for naming one's discoveries, questions,
and wonderments along the way.
This session explores how creation influences our efforts to name for ourselves life's revelations. After reflecting on a selection of nature-based writings, participants will be guided in individual and small group activities to write their own testimonies of what nature teaches them.
Victor Klimoski was born next to the Wolf River in northern Wisconsin and learned early that nature is his first and best teacher. He has produced eight collections of poems and edited three anthologies prior to Reverencing
Earth, a new anthology of poems, essays, and art co-edited with Kathy Fleming. After a career in educational administration and continuing education, Victor has been offering writing workshops and serving as a coach for
other writers.
