Pilgrimage: a journey or search of moral or spiritual significance.
In order to give us all opportunities to deepen our recovery into life-affirming spiritual practices and seed leadership ideas we can take back to our own communities of faith, EcoFaith Recovery is offering a new opportunity. Whenever possible (ideally about once a month), our EcoFaith Recovery network will be invited to go on a “pilgrimage” to join a particular faith community in one of their recovery practices.

During March 2014, EcoFaith Recovery joins the Wilderness Way Community in a Lenten Discipline called “Our Biosphere, Ourselves.” It is based upon the guided meditation with water/apples/breath/pulse that we do as part of our Organizing in the Biocommons Initiative. We invite you this Lent, to  join us in spending 10 minutes outside in prayer or meditation every day for 40 days, beginning on Ash Wednesday, March 5! This year there is a guided meditation as well! Gather a group from your faith community to join you, if possible!
Go here for the Meditation offerings.ÂÂ
For those of you on Facebook, you can join with other EcoFaith Recovery leaders in these Lenten disciplines for Our Biosphere, Ourselves.

February, 2014, join St. Andrew Lutheran Church in Beaverton, Oregon in practicing 40 Days of Nonviolence using resources from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Pace e Bene. Among the four traditions from which our Beyond Fossil Fuels effort is drawing in our partnership with OnEarth Peace is the tradition of Kingian Nonviolence. St. Andrew Lutheran Church is providing us with opportunities to engage in daily spiritual practices which nurture a spirituality of nonviolence within and among us.
