Online Retreat: Discovering Celtic Advent Friday November 15 2024 at 7:30 PM
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.
Ticket sales will close Friday, November 15 at 12 noon ET. A Zoom link will be sent to you on the day of the program.
