This post is a bit different for me because my spiritual beliefs are a bit different too. I was raised Roman Catholic, and went to a Roman Catholic school from kindergarten until I graduated highschool. When I was young, the belief in God was easy. Still I feel guilt when I write about my feelings towards the whole thing.
When I was in the 8th grade, my class of 60 were to all be confirmed. At this point in my life, I was completely confused as of to my beliefs. I guess I "pretended" to believe in God, however sick that may sound. But I truly don't think it is a bad thing. The ideologies and thoughts the camp in "Renewal" seemed healthy and positive, and were similar to what I was taught.
In my schooling I was able to gain "spirituality" through desire to better myself. This allowed me to somewhat pray, but rather reflect on what I could have done and can do to better myself and those I love. I appreciate nature- and really believe it is the best place to relax.
Even the children felt that prayer in the forest was deeper and more meaningful. If more people can experience this, they too will gain a sense of appreciation and maybe work towards protecting it.
