Retreat Day ~ Finding our Focus: Advent Praying with Body, Mind and Spirit

Advent is a time of preparing for what is really important – the coming of Christ. Once we have our priorities straight, everything else falls into place. Yet it is easy to become overwhelmed by the busyness and let the noise and crowds edge out the quiet joy to be found in the season. We, who have so much to do, seek quiet spaces to hear God’s voice. Step away for a day to relax, unwind, listen and shift your focus. Experience the peace and joy that comes from praying with body, mind and spirit, Scripture, guided meditation and music of the season. Bring a journal for some quiet reflection. Basic movements will be taught which can be done by anyone, regardless of experience or physical limitation.
