In a time of shifting ideologies, the respite of a garden can be rejuvenating. Right now, imagine being in a garden. Take a moment to soak up the stillness, enjoy the scents…a sweet floral aroma and smell the moist soil. Feel and see evolving energy all around in this generous landscape. Flowers are in various stages of growth, from bud to blossom. A variety of fragrances abound, with the sun’s encouragement. Perfumed scents attract winged insects and conjure up our memories of specific occasions in our life. Poetry will be interspersed in this guided mediation, and is designed to open doorways in the mind and spirit, inspiring and aligning your life in surprising ways!

These sessions, all different, will led by a variety of spiritual leaders in the Rochester Franciscan Community.

In the event of inclement weather, the session may be rescheduled. Please watch for updates prior to each session.

Events taking place outdoors will be held in Assisi Heights Canticle Park & the surrounding grounds. Please park in the Canticle Park parking lot & join the group in the grassy area. We are open for limited sponsored events. Please refrain from attending if experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 or other illness or have been exposed to any persons infected with COVID-19.
