ReCreation - Hike and Contemplation in Deer Grove Forest Preserve

  • Deer Grove Forest Preserve 1599 Pepper Tree Drive Palatine, IL, 60067 United States (map)

Re-Creation Hour-Long Outdoor Retreats are back!
Join us for a hike on May 9.

Yes, I know it's Mother's Day. Some of us aren't mothers. Some of us don't have mothers nearby. Some of us have mothers we dearly miss. Some of us don't particularly like our mothers. Others of us don't particularly like our kids (or just need a break from them). Celebrate Mother's Day by enjoying Mother Earth.

We’ll meet in the Deer Grove East parking lot at 3pm (park in the last parking lot, we'll meet at the trail head which is at the very tip of the parking lot). We'll start with introductions and center ourselves with a spiritual reading. Partway into the 2.7 mile hike we'll share in a contemplative practice. As we hike, we'll split into two groups - those who want to talk, and those who would like to walk with others but in silence.

At the end of the hike, we'll share a closing reading and then head back to our days, renewed and reconnected with what matters.
