Urban Oasis: Reflections from Our Spring Renewal Workshop

Tucked into the heart of Rogers, Arkansas, our gathering took place in a quiet greenspace surrounded by city streets—a hidden sanctuary where the rush of nearby traffic gave way to birdsong and the gentle flow of a stream. This unexpected pocket of nature offered the perfect contrast for our Spring Renewal workshop, reminding us that connection, reflection, and ritual can happen anywhere—even in the middle of modern life.
