LEWISTON – Zen priest and outdoorsman Stephen Hyde will present “Coming Home: Learning the Sacred and Practical Art of Return” at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 16, in Skelton Lounge, Chase Hall, at Bates College, Campus Avenue.
The public is invited to attend this discussion free of charge. Hyde’s talk opens a series of lectures, “Spiritual Journeys: Stories of the Soul 2003-04,” sponsored by the Office of the Chaplain. Hyde has been drawn to the land since childhood.
Raised on a farm that was later consumed by subdivisions, he developed a lifelong concern for the preservation of open and wild spaces.
A wilderness guide for Two Roads Maine, Hyde leads outdoor retreats for those who are at an emotional or physical crossroads in their lives, such as learning to live with a life-threatening illness, a major trauma or deep grief.
In this presentation, Hyde will discuss his own and others’ journeys “to return to their true homes in the wild landscapes of the Earth and the heart.”
