Do you want to experience a retreat, but don't have the time or funds for a traditional retreat? Retreat in your own place, at your own pace.
In this no-cost eight-session retreat, you will delve deeply into Jesus' Incarnation by taking a fresh look at the events surrounding Jesus’ coming into the world through the eyes of his mother Mary, stepfather Joseph, the shepherds, wise men, and others. Each session will include:
- an audio podcast story/meditation,
- reflection questions,
- an additional offering to enrich your experience (music, images, articles), and
- the opportunity to discuss your thoughts and experiences with other retreatants.
What participants are saying about this retreat:
- The people came alive through the meditations in a way I had not experienced before.
- I thought more about the people of the story rather than the story itself—and that was a gift.
- The meditations were very sweet and I appreciated the questions.
- It gave me a new lens through which to see the various people who were involved in this story historically and I liked the connection to the other retreatants.
- Because of the meditations, I was better able to humanize the different Advent and Christmas stories. I was able to reflect on the people in these stories as multi-dimensional, as people instead of as archetypes or symbols or characters flat from so many retellings.
An
optional individual one-hour session of spiritual guidance via Skype/FaceTime
or phone is available for a US$75 fee.
