Thursday, December 12 - Saturday, December 14
10:30 am - 3:30 pm
The Advent Season offers us opportunities to slow down and savor the presence of God as if in a “twilight time.” Twilight is a time of darkness where great encounters can happen. At
the time of the year when the nights are the longest, the quiet and stillness of night make us aware of our thirst for God, desire for companionship and expectancy of holy encounters.
Enhanced by Scripture and liturgical dance, this retreat will explore themes of longing, thirst, expectancy and joy, complemented by solitude and rest. Come enjoy a gentle moment amid
the rush of holiday preparations.
