Contemplative in the Kootenays
December 15, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
The December meeting of Contemplative in the Kootenays will be a one-day Advent Retreat. We will meet at the home of Jill Cowan (directions below).
This retreat will invite you to enter deeply into the Advent story: we will practice seeing into the mythic elements of the story, the public, contemporary illustrations of this story, and the way that we live it in our own interior life. It will be a time for reflection, so please bring your journal as well as your lunch. We will begin and close our work with centering prayer; and end with open communion.
For more information, please contact Therese at descamp(at)hearts rest(dot)com.
