We made a trip this weekend out to Heartland Retreat Center.

Do You Still Wonder?
Remember when we were very small, time moved more slowly and the world felt full of wonder? When everything was new, we couldn’t help but pause and imagine.
Young children are naturally mindful, but as adults we usually have to relearn this way of being. Practicing Mindfulness can help us reconnect with our innate sense of wonder.
