As the days pick up the pace between Thanksgiving and Christmas, how can one make space for contemplating what it means to celebrate the coming of Christ? It might mean listening for God's gentle invitation to draw away for a day that softly turns us toward quiet contemplation.
In this six-hour retreat, we will look at Waiting through the eyes of Elizabeth, Mary, and Anna. We will examine our own lives in light of what it means to:
Wait in a season of time out of time
Wait in community for our purpose
Wait with an ear to the future
We will engage practices using all of our senses to enhance our understanding of what it means to wait well and fruitfully in all three areas. There will be time for deep reflection through silence, music, writing, and visual art.
A simple lunch will be provided, and social distancing will be practiced. No charge, donations accepted.
