Advent
a threshold season of In-Between
inviting, calling, challenging
the gift of waiting
in the shoreline of a new world.
Retreat Description
An Advent retreat for those who long to wait with hope amid the myriad inbetween times of every life, we will “wait” the great In-Between of Christ who reigns and Jesus soon to be born. We will wait with Joseph, John the Baptist, and Mary as we practice the spiritual discipline of waiting on the shoreline of a new world. Poet John O’Donohue notes, “What is nearest to the heart is often farthest from the word,” so as we wait there will be opportunity to explore your world of response through prayer, quiet, and a variety of expressions that require no words.
Engaging the In-Between and the spiritual discipline of waiting…all are welcome.
The $175 cost of the retreat includes two nights in a single room in Lupine Lodge or one of the retreat cottages, all meals, and retreat materials. There is a $50/per person discount for individuals staying in double rooms.
