Online Reflections for Advent 2024
Available from November 28th, Cost: £25, includes printed booklet
“I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in secret places…” (Isaiah 45:3)
Most of us don’t relish the coming of the dark days of winter. But they have their own riches, invitations to rest, lie fallow, look after ourselves, dream new dreams. Time spent in darkness encourages us to journey inwards, think about living with mystery. And, just at the darkest point point of the year, we celebrate the arrival of the small, unquenchable Light of the World.
In this series of Advent Reflections, we consider what it means to stay with the dark for a time to allow its riches to be revealed, even as the wait for the coming of the Light, once again, into a dark world.
This series of weekly Advent reflections features a new audio reflection to listen to each week along with a selection of other reflective material to read and ponder throughout the week. The reflections are designed to create quiet spaces in a busy season, and draw on poetry, art, music, Scripture and other wisdom writing. All the printed material for the retreat is available in an attractive A5 booklet – if you would like to receive this, please select this option when you book.
The Quiet Day, The Gifts of Winter, is an ideal starting point for the series, but both are also designed to stand alone. You are welcome to participate in either one or double the richness and do both!
