Join the Next Masterclass! ↓
John Muir, the environmental prophet and mystic, saw the Earth not just as a physical world—but as a living, breathing expression of the divine.
Throughout his life, Muir reminded us that the natural world is not just scenery.
It is sanctuary.
Even as our surroundings seem to darken, the Earth herself offers us an anchor: the mountains endure, the rivers keep singing, the stars continue their patient revolutions. In their persistence, they invite us to find courage—not by ignoring the darkness, but by rooting ourselves in beauty and truth too ancient and too vast to be undone.
“Earth has no sorrows,” Muir wrote, “that Earth cannot heal.”
It is in this spirit that we invite you to a new mini-retreat with beloved Celtic teacher John Philip Newell, live on Saturday, September 6th. Together, we’ll explore how Muir’s spirit can guide us today—how love of the Earth becomes a pathway of healing, and how our faith in creation can steady us in turbulent times.
Presented by John Philip Newell
John Philip Newell is a beloved Celtic teacher, peacemaker, and poet, known for his work reconnecting spirituality with the sacredness of Earth and all beings.
Former warden of Iona Abbey in Scotland, he is the founder of the School of Earth and Soul and the award-winning author of Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul and Christ of the Celts.
He has been described as having ‘the heart of a Celtic bard and the mind of a Celtic scholar,’ combining in his teachings the poetic and the intellectual, the head as well as the heart, and spiritual awareness as well as political and ecological concern.
"This is an absolutely wonderful online course. I wish I had access to all the presenters forever! Thank you so much!"

This is exactly the wild adventure I've been looking to be part of. I LOVE it. This course has been so enriching.
I'm turning 80 this next year and I feel like I've just been born anew into the world of mysticism. Where have you been all my life?"
