Our time together in retreat will be in shared silence with contemplative reflection on the past year and deepening into this in-between time, liminality. Brief presentations will be followed by options for creative expression with prompts for journaling and poetry, and materials for drawing or painting; group dialog; and ritual as we make way for God’s transformative activity within us.
