SUMMARY:Creator of the Stars of Night: An Eco-Spiritual Advent Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Advent Guided Retreat Weekend \nSince the publication of Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudato Si’\, the Church as a whole has begun to take more seriously the call to develop the eco-spiritual dimension of our faith: that is\, our spiritual connection to God whose presence is made manifest in the natural world. How might we do so in this Advent season? This weekend retreat will provide some inspiration. Together\, we will explore connections between traditional Advent themes and eco-spiritual concepts. How can our Advent waiting be deepened by the scale of “deep time” or cosmic history? How can the vulnerable Christ-child and the fragility of endangered species in the web of life illuminate one another’s significance? What is the social justice dimension of Advent and Christmas\, and what can we learn from it about our responsibility for the planet? And most centrally of all: how can this Christian celebration of the Incarnation lead us to see God more clearly in all things? \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Advent Directed Retreat Weekend 2023
DESCRIPTION:Advent seems like it is light years away\, but before we know it our consumer world will be showing signs of Christmas. It is never too early to begin to ponder\, How am I going to make this Advent season more spiritually focused than other Advents? \nWhy not consider setting aside some time now to schedule an Advent Directed Retreat Weekend at St. Raphaela Center. \nWhat is a Directed Retreat Weekend? It’s a weekend of prayer and silence to listen more deeply to the voice of God within\, and to share what is heard during this silence with an experienced spiritual guide. \nDate: December 8 - 10\, 2023 \nTime: Starting at 4:00pm      Ending December 10 after lunch \nRegister\nNEW: Online Option (Online Spiritual Direction ONLY)
