Journey to Healing
Journey to Healing has two parts: an actual walk around a designated area of the Wild Goose campus – Stations of the Cross style – and a workshop led by Lyndon Harris and Sheridan Hill. Journey to Healing creates an experiential encounter with the five gates of grief described by Francis Well in his brilliant new book, The Wild Edge of Sorrow. Incorporating meditation, forgiveness exercises, and soulful contemplation, this exercise is intended to help sojourners become more resilient – spiritually, emotionally, and physically – by making peace with their grief. This workshop is co-lead by Sheridan Hill and Lyndon Harris, and is intended to follow on the earlier workshop entitled “Rituals of Renewal” also co-lead by Sheridan and Lyndon.
