1. Entering Advent's Night - December 3-6, 2011
(Saturday 5 PM to Noon Tuesday)
Program Fee: $95

Do you yearn to slow down in these days before Christmas? Do you desire to experience Advent as a spiritual time of preparing ourselves for Christ's birth? Come to the Monastery and take time to listen for God's voice. We will look for God's Advents in our own lives.

How can we make space in our lives where God can be born? We'll explore scripture, hymns, liturgy and Advent symbols for insight and guidance. And we'll delve deeply into what it means to say "yes" to divine invitation.

The rhythm of this retreat alternates between presentations, silent individual time, and group sharing in which to interact with the material. The retreat sessions also allow for full participation in all the monastic times of prayer.

Dr Nancy Copeland-Payton, M Div is an experienced retreat leader, spiritual director, and author of "Losses of Our Lives, The Sacred Gifts of Renewal in Everyday Loss."
