What I Learned from a Leaf

But more than these skills, I cherish the spiritual learning the Ecovillage provides. As the home to Lightwork’s summer meditation retreats, it’s a place of sanctuary from the bustle of city life. It’s a place to turn inward and connect with myself.

Nature has an amazing capacity for teaching. Just watching a leaf fall last autumn brought a tear to my eye — it was the tree’s potent reminder to me that letting go is part of the spiritual process.

It’s these kinds of learnings that I really love about my time at the Ecovillage.
