Praying in Color ADVENT Retreat
November 16 from 10:00am–1:00 pm

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.

9:30 am – Welcome and Coffee
10:00 am – Start of Retreat
12:00 pm – Light lunch available ($5 donation)
1:00 pm – Closing

4) Starting Monday, December 1-24, 2024
“To Be is a Blessing: An Online Retreat for Advent” from the Abbey of the Arts and Christine Valters Paintner

                “Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy.”
                          —Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel

I will present with Christine at the Live Opening Gathering on Monday December 2. Christine Valters Paintner is a gifted poet, writer, teacher, guide, and creator/Abbess of the Abbey of the Arts. I have attended several of the Abbey’s programs online and a pilgrimage led by her and husband John in Galway, Ireland. This retreat will be lovely way to immerse yourself in the Advent season.
