Renewal and Care

During this session, Leigha Horton shared reflections on renewing our relationship with the natural world and the importance of slowing down to notice the sacredness of creation. As a certified forest guide, photographer, writer, and co-founder of Silvae Spiritus, she invited participants to consider how deeper connection with the land can also help restore connection with ourselves and one another. Through guided reflection both indoors and outdoors, Leigha encouraged living with greater intention, inclusivity, harmony, and meaning. The conversation centered on caring for the land not only as a physical responsibility, but also as a spiritual practice rooted in presence, gratitude, and respect for all of creation—past, present, and future.
