Terry Hershey Coming to Good Shepherd


  • Good Shepherd Episcopal Church 495 Herbert Hills Dr Hayesville, NC, 28904 (map)

Author, humorist, inspirational speaker, dad, ordained minister, golf addict, and smitten by French wine, Terry divides his time between designing sanctuary gardens and sharing his practice of “pausing” and “sanctuary,” to help us rest, renew, and live wholehearted.

Terry’s book, This Is The Life, offers the invitation and permission to savor this life, to taste the present moment. Most days, you can find Terry out in his garden–on Vashon Island in the Puget Sound—because he believes that there is something fundamentally spiritual about dirt under your fingernails. In fact, Terry’s teaching on sacred gardens was the inspiration behind Good Shepherd’s own multiple garden spaces and Fr. John Rice’s study of healing gardens during his sabbatical.

Friday night July 9, 6-7:30 in the Parish Hall. Saturday July 10 9am-1pm. Q&A Sunday between services 9:15-10:15am.
