Open Your Heart to Hope
What is waiting to be born in your life?
Advent is a season of waiting, wonder, and hope. Yet waiting isn't always easy, especially when life feels uncertain or the future is unclear.
Allow this season of waiting to become a sacred opportunity to pause, listen, and discover what new possibilities may be emerging within you.
Join Christine Jurisich for a three-hour online Advent retreat as we make space for reflection, prayer, and the hope of new beginnings.
What to Expect
During our three hours together, you will be invited to:
Pause and reconnect with yourself and the Sacred through guided reflection and prayer.
Explore the possibilities of holy waiting through meaningful imagery and spiritual reflection.
Rest in the presence of God through musical prayer and quiet contemplation.
Connect with others in a welcoming community, with opportunities to share if you wish.
Come as you are. No prior retreat experience is necessary, and sharing is always optional.
