Brenna Baker presents the next program in her Nature Nurture series!
Sacred Seasons: Connecting with Nature as We Grow Older
Saturday, April 12 from 9:30-3:30.
This retreat invites older adults to reflect on the journey of aging through the wisdom of nature. Tanya Dyck Steinmann, spiritual director and founder of Wildscape Soul, will guide us with contemplative and nature-based practices. We will explore how listening to the Earth can deepen our understanding of life’s unfolding seasons. Participants will engage in creating nature art, honoring the impermanence and beauty of aging, and come together in circle sharing to reflect, connect, and learn from each other’s stories. This retreat offers a nurturing environment to deepen our relationship with both the Earth and the wisdom that comes with age, encouraging us to find meaning, peace, and strength in our vital role as elders.
You can learn more about Tanya on her website: wildscapesoul.ca

New Maintenance and Water Treatment Building!
After years of effort, our new maintenance and water treatment building will soon be complete!
Ryan, Don and Jonny have worked hard over the past year to complete this project.
Did you know CSC makes its own drinking water?
At CSC we use the natural spring water from the caves, then treat it to produce safe and delicious drinking water.
This new building is essential to the infrastructure and future of CSC.
We are grateful to all our donors, and we are very thankful for the help of life time Board Member Dave Pritchard. Dave worked with the Ontario Trillium Foundation to obtain a OTF capital grant. Appreciating the OTF for its contribution will happen later in 2025.
