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.

Now in its twelfth year, Cosmic Camp for Kids is a unique week-long ecology camp for kids that nurtures kinship with nature through science, story and art, and has earned rave reviews from kids, parents and educators.

Again this year we are having a home-school style “community shared” cosmic camp where parents and caregivers participate with their children.

This symposium will address Jesus’ presence and action in the new cosmology by reflecting on the person of Jesus with new eyes. Jesus experiences nature as a place to pray and a source of grace. How can we open up his parables and many other metaphors? We will reflect on Christ’s passion and resurrection in our time, as it relates to our earth home in peril. Our prayer and sharing will inspire a deeper commitment to the healing of ourselves, the elements, and the multi-species community of life.

Maureen Wild, S.C., and Jim Profit, S.J., who both bring years of experience and commitment to ecological spirituality through their present work, will facilitate this symposium. Maureen, originally from Peace River in northern Alberta, is a Sister of Charity of Halifax. She has a wide range of ministry experience within both inner-city settings and ecological learning centres. Maureen currently lives in the Gulf Islands of British Columbia. Jim is the Executive Director of the Ignatius Jesuit Centre.

This symposium ends on Monday at 4pm but, if you chose, you can leave on Sunday evening after supper.
