The Great Search – A Three-Day Retreat, in which the wisdom teachings of John Philip Newell and the spiritual practices of Cami Twilling inspire us in this time of transition toward a spirituality of intimacy with Earth rather than a spirituality of alienation from Earth, and a vision of interrelatedness and harmony instead of religious and political division. The retreat focuses on the main themes of John Philip’s ground-breaking new book The Great Search: Turning to Earth and Soul in the Quest for Healing and Home (HarperOne, August 2024).
John Philip Newell is a ‘wandering teacher’ from Scotland in the ancient Celtic tradition. He describes himself as ‘a son of the Christian household, seeking to be in relationship with the wisdom of humanity’s other great spiritual traditions.’ Cami Twilling is the director of Earth & Soul, a Celtic initiative of study, spiritual practice, and compassionate action based in Colorado. Their much-loved combination of teaching and spiritual practice offers great hope for healing and transformation in our lives, both individually and together.
