Give yourself this time to prepare for and welcome the season of Advent with a contemplative heart. Engage with the stories of the Jesse Tree – ancestors of Jesus.
Connect the Advent symbols of Love, Hope, Peace and Joy with your own inner realities. Slow down from the speed and stress of the world around, and wonder and reflect on why you are attending to the busyness. Discover and create moments of peace through creative prayer, reflection, scripture, music, art and nature.
You will be provided with a take-home resource to support your journey throughout the Advent season
This day is suitable for all adults.
It is also approved by CESA as a System Accredited Module for teachers, which requires the submission of a 1500-word reflection paper.
