Meditative Writing Retreat @ Norbertine Abbey

Waiting in Wonder and Hope

While some people are engaged in a buying frenzy this time of year, others want to quietly anticipate a season of Loving Presence. A sense of wonder and welcome can be our companion in this period of active waiting. This retreat offers time and space to simply be, something that is not always easy for us as the demands of the world press us to do and consume more and more.

Our attentive stillness can be a refuge, and a way of embracing our desire for peace in ourselves and in our world.

Please register by Monday, Nov. 26 by calling (505) 873-4399 or email MAshcroft@NorbertineCommunity.org

The offering for the retreat is $55.00, which includes lunch.
