Description
Our trees model the quiet patient wisdom of learning to wait. The trees shed their radiant leaves and then stand bare at the edge of winter.
Advent invites us into this same rhythm — a time to pause, to listen, to notice, and to wait with expectation. During this half day retreat, we will create space to experience the sacredness of this threshold season. Through creative expression, spiritual practice, and peaceful reflection, we will explore the places in our lives where we find ourselves waiting: at the edge of change, at the edge of possibility, at the edge of something not yet known.
What does it mean to wait and trust what might be growing in the darkness? How might we make more space for what may be trying to emerge?
