× Advent is a season of expectant waiting and preparation. But in the weeks leading to Christmas, how do we maintain this balance as the days grow shorter and our to-do lists often grow longer. What if there was a way to lean into Advent that invites us into a time of deeper, more spacious reflection? Welcome to Celtic Advent!

Join this online retreat as we learn about the history of this forty-day season as a companion to Lent and explore spiritual practices that reflect on the gifts of waiting expectantly in darkness while welcoming the glimpses of light in our world. Advance registration is required.
