This Earth Day, join us for a gentle conversation on connections between nature and spiritual practice, created for those who are tired, overwhelmed, or longing for rest in an always-on world. This webinar invites us into a quieter way of being, one rooted in attention, presence, and the living world. Our panel of spiritual teachers and thinkers will explore:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A spacious, nature-rooted spirituality for burned-out people<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simple practices of attention that calm our anxiety and invite us back into our bodies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A grounded, honest hope that doesn\u2019t require optimism or constant engagement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Join us as we explore what trees, birds, and wild places can teach us about looking inward. You\u2019ll leave reminded that you belong to the earth\u2014and that presence, not productivity, can be enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.augsburgfortress.org\/webinars\/earth-day\/\"
