Advent Quiet Day (Day Apart Only)
With Larry Jay
December 5, 2023
In the busy-ness of the season, we invite you to come away to the Ridge and gather together IN-PERSON as we make time to embrace the waiting and settling in as we take time to breathe in the hope, joy, peace and love that this time of Advent offers.
In the quiet and silence of this retreat, we invite you to sit, linger, ponder, behold, wander, wonder…wait. We will offer some reflections and spiritual exercises to prepare you for the holy-days of Advent. During the times of silence, there will also be nativity scenes from around the world for reflection, Christmas stories, items to create, coloring pages and mandalas to capture your feelings and reflections of the day. We will also have both indoor and outdoor labyrinths as you walk through the day. Given our Advent Prayer Journey focus on Mary, particular attention will be given to see “Advent through the eyes of Mary.”
We invite you to sit by the fire, enjoy the beauty of the Ridge, and live into the season of Advent as we prepare our hearts for Christmas with an extended time to lean into the silence with an overnight retreat linked into our Advent Quiet Day.
