On a recent Community Call, new RHI Program Director Brenda Salgado demonstrated through storytelling how healing our human relationships also means healing our relationship with the land.

Our second Land Legacies session brought together retreat center leaders across the United States to discuss how retreat centers are contributing to the legacy of the land on which they're situated. "The land" is a complex and interdependent web of life -- whose legacy extends across time -- and at retreat centers we are both stewards of, and co-facilitators with the land.

‘Land legacies’ is a useful phrase because it’s versatile and provocative. It teases us into thinking bigger. How did this conversation start at the RCC? And where is it headed? RCC Program Manager Ben Scott-Brandt shares what he’s learning from the network in this short essay.
