Advent is the season of preparation for God’s coming into the world as flesh and blood at Christmas. Lush and heady words pepper our Advent vocabulary—incarnation, anticipation, repentance, preparation, annunciation…. But Advent is also a season of down-to-earthiness and the senses. It is a time for awakening the head, heart, and body.

With left-brain and right-brain exercises, we will explore some meditative and playful practices to journey through Advent–practices that also equip us to travel the entire liturgical year. Paper, pens, and colored markers will be provided. No artist skill is necessary. Just bring a spirit of Holy Adventure.
