The Gifts of Winter

A Quiet Day for Advent 2024

Saturday 30th November, 10.30am-4pm, St Columba’s by the Castle, Johnston Terrace, Edinburgh

Cost £35 (£25 concession, or pay what you can) includes lunch, coffee & cake

Take time out, as Advent begins, to consider the blessings of the season of winter – bright frosty mornings, the robin’s song, the invitation to slow down and recoup our energies. If we enter fully into this season, it has much to show us about rest, resilience, faithfulness, mystery, and the God who is with us in the dark as much as in the light. 

This retreat day is an invitation to pause in this busy season and be refreshed. The day will draw on a mixture of reflective approaches and creative material including art, poetry and music, and will include guided reflections and individual quiet time.

Lunch is included, as is coffee and cake. St Columba’s has more space so there is less pressure on numbers than with previous retreat days, but early booking is appreciated for planning purposes. You can register and pay securely here using the form below or email info@heartinpilgrimage.org.uk. Please advise of any dietary requirements on the booking form. If you would like to use the pay-what-you-can option, please just drop me a line.

The Quiet Day is designed to stand alone, or to be an ideal starting point for the series of online Advent Reflections, Riches Stored in Secret Places. You are welcome to participate in either one or double the richness and do both!
