This event is sponsored by The Ignatius Jesuit Centre, Sacred Wisdom Centre, and The Guelph Seminar.

Join us in an Earth Prayer to listen in the prayer of the Earth and celebrate its life and gifts. People of all ages are welcome.

This is the first of a new monthly gathering to be with the land in its changing seasons, and pray for the healing of Earth. We will pilgrimage to a different place on the land each month. We'll join in song and share stories.

Dress to suit the weather, as we will be outdoors. Gather at the Peace Pole, in behind the greenhouse...park at the farm workshop.

Join us for a wonderful Sunday afternoon outing for you, your friends and family, members of your parish, community group or co-workers. See the amazing and peaceful wetlands, forests, trees, pastures, farm fields and vegetable gardens of Ignatius, and learn about wonderful and inspiring things in this place of peace. There is so much to see and visit including: Community Shared Agriculture, Organic Apple Orchards, Organic Farm and Community Gardens, Ecology Villa and Willowdome, and a walking tour upon request of the Old Mill Ruins and the Plant an Old Growth Forest Project. There will also be themed tours, upon request, on the history of the land and the Jesuits here on the property, farming practices at Ignatius, forest interpretive walks and nature and spirituality walks.
