Reflections on Belonging, Identity and Flourishing
“Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself… a place near your altar…” Psalm 84:3
As human beings, we long to belong. How do we put down roots and grow in an increasingly rootless world? What does it mean to “remain” in God, or for God to “dwell” in us? Are we nomads in this world, focused on a distant future home, or citizens committed to the earth and its people? How do we come home to ourselves, and to the God who makes a home in our deepest hearts? This retreat is an invitation to dwell with these questions and others, ponder insights and mysteries, and deepen your walk with God.
