At the Osage Forest of Peace we are proud to be on Osage Nation reserved land. When the Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration purchased the land from the old Anderson Family Allotment in 1979 they tried to be as ethical and responsible to the existing spiritual legacy and the complicated and dishonorable chain of land ownership rights in Northeastern Oklahoma.

I hope that we can continue that sacred covenant the was so central to Sr. Pascaline's worldview. That every deeply held and honest spiritual tradition is as valid and enriching as the next. We can discuss and learn and grow together rather than close ourselves off.

With that intention, I would like to share Ashlyn Faith's video from this weekend. She is a RN, trained Indigenous Healer and member of the Chickasaw Tribe.

We had a magical weekend out at the Forest of Peace. Lots of vital discussions, deep appreciation and welcomed healing. It was wonderful to see, exactly what the forest is for.
Our overnight guests from F.L.O.W retreat will be posting about their experiences and I hope to showcase them here as well.

I will also include lovely impromptu graduation ceremony for their recent graduates last Thursday. As well as the group that was out on Saturday.

Truly, lovely weekend.

In the spirit of Amy Thurman F.L.O.W retreat and in the tradition of Benedictine hospilatity I am taking rare chance to be impromptu out here at the Forest of Peace. We have 2 meditation chapels, 3 miles of trails, a zen garden and a labyrinth and most importantly the best people.
Lunch at 1230, (vegetarian and gluten free options available)
Dinner at 530 (I don't have a concrete plan on this yet.)
My Dad will be out here after lunch to set up the fire.
Donations are welcome but not required.
Love,
Kate

Losing a loved one is always hard, and grief takes many forms and looks different for each person. During our annual Ancestors and Saints retreat, we'll talk about those special people who have 'gone before us,' process through griefs of all kinds, and spend some time in the comfort of the Forest together. Register today--cabins are still available, as well as a commuter option: https://forestofpeace.secure.retreat.guru/program/honoring-our-ancestors-and-saints-2/

After a particularly hard slog through late summer temperatures, fall has finally come to the forest. The land and the folks breathe a sigh of relief.
