Deep inside, even we city-dwellers know that our relationship to nature goes beyond peering out from behind the drapes to see whether it's raining or not.

We are thirsty for an opportunity to re-connect with nature, to recreate the relationship many of us had as children with the environment around us.

The focus of our Earth Day Walk is awareness of the depth of our connection to the natural world, awareness of the ways in which it nourishes and comforts us, of the complexity and beauty with which it surrounds us.

We often come to the Labyrinth looking for insight into what we need for healing. This is a chance to ask how we might heal our relationship with the natural world. How can we be more present to it? Can we be a part of its healing?

Sunday April 25th 2010
1:30 start at 640 Chester Rd, Annacis Island, Delta
5:00 conclude at the Delta Nature Reserve

You are invited to attend the annual Pilgrimage to Burns Bog. Like last year, people will be gathering Sunday, April 25, 2010, at 640 Chester Road, Delta (Quiznos on Annacis Island), at 1:30 p.m. to walk over the Alex Fraser Bridge.

Sunday, April 25th is the last day of earth week and a great opportunity to celebrate our globally unique Burns Bog, the "lungs of the Lower Mainland."

This year we are suggesting that people who do not wish to walk over the bridge gather at the Great Pacific Forum Planet Ice (10388 Nordel Court, Delta) to wait for the walkers.

Displays by participating organizations will be available for people to enjoy while waiting for the walkers. Once the walkers arrive everyone will walk into the Delta Nature Reserve for singing, speeches by invited guests and a closing prayer. The anticipated closing time is 5 p.m.

You are welcome to take this opportunity to tell your story.  Please call the Burns Bog Conservation Society at 604.572.0373 or email info@pilgrimage2burnsbog.org to order tents or tables or for more information.
