Summer can be wonderful and overwhelming. It can be busy not just because the world is on fire but because there is an impulse to do more. Slow down with this Summer Relief Kit to listen closely to what it is that your soul needs most.

There are a series of practices and reflection questions in these downloadable pages centered around this Ross Gay poem. There is space in these pages to wonder about what matters and how to say thank you, to express gratitude even when the world feels like it is teetering around of control. There is an invitation to look carefully — even tenderly — upon the world through the lens of your camera (even if that camera is attached to your phone). It concludes with a blessing because that is the hope with this tiny little retreat. It is the relief of deep blessing when the world is on fire.

This is a complete downloadable mini retreat guide to be used for individuals during the summer months. A PDF will be delivered to you by email.
