Every year, we offer a retreat for you as a faith leader to enter into the expectant longing of Advent. It is an opportunity to engage in rest & receptivity before you lead your congregation, staff, community, family, or organization through the season. If you are someone who holds prayerful, caring space for others, this is a retreat where prayerful, caring space will be held for you.

A few years ago, Tish Harrison Warren wrote, “To practice Advent is to lean into an almost cosmic ache: our deep, wordless desire for things to be made right and the incompleteness we find in the meantime.” This year, we want to consider this and the weight it gives to the expectant joy of Christ’s incarnation. 

Please share this invitation with your staff, other leaders, and friends who may be longing for an experience like this! Space is limited and our seasonal retreats consistently sell out.
