On the Crest of a New Year
With Peter Watkins, Jackie Bohrer and Sister Carol Rennie, OSB
December 31, 2018 - January 1, 2019
“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3). Through all of the changes and seasons of our lives it is God’s presence that remains a constant thread, interwoven in the sacred tapestry that is life. During this day-long retreat, we will spend time becoming more aware of that thread. Through both active creativity, quiet contemplation, and journaling we will seek healing in our past, ground ourselves in the present and discern where the Spirit is nudging us into the future. Truly, 2019 will not just be another New Year, but a year of purpose and renewal.
