Saturday was a lovely retreat day. Theresa drove us to a small nature preserve near Ndola where we each had a private retreat with our packed lunches and beautiful walks. Practice is possible in all situations everywhere, AND taking a day to be in silence, in nature, simply with oneself, is a reminder that there is no substitute for that form of practice. Such a day facilitates bringing presence into more busy, interaction-filled days. A wonderful (re)treat, indeed!

The trees were labeled with their local names.
We even got to see some game.
Including zebra. Nature is creative, indeed!!
