What if the package God longs for you to prepare this Christmas is YOU?
Do you long to...? Slow Down, Simplify, Sit & Savor? Does it seem possible to prepare yourself for Christmas by doing less rather than doing more? It’s possible if you choose to give back to yourself this season. It’s possible with companionship, community, and support. Yes, you can indeed prepare yourself to spend time with God this season, there’s no better time than now.
You’re invited to make yourself ready for Christmas with this online retreat - created for your body and your spirit. Your retreat is written and facilitated by Whitney R. Simpson, author of Holy Listening with Breath, Body, and the Spirit. Join us for a season of ponderings, postures and prayers this Advent as we allow ourselves to be readied by God this Christmas season, all from the comfort of your own home.
Your advent retreat is self-paced and available from anywhere you have access to a computer or smart-phone.
Each Week you’ll receive:

Best BONUS of all:
This retreat is right for you if you long to make space for connecting with God, yourself, and others this season. You will need a willingness to carve out time for prayer and meditation - how much time, is up to you. An online retreat means you have access to "get away with God" on your time schedule and best of all - in your own home. The only thing required of you is the willingness to make space in your schedule to get ready for Christmas.
Join us for four weeks of ponderings, postures, and prayers from 11/29/20 - 12/27/20. Registering for this retreat at the price of $79.99 benefits you, gives back toward building a private retreat space in rural Tennessee, and supports another to attend on scholarship. If finances are tight, you may choose to register at the scholarship price of $39.99. Either way, you will receive far more in value than your financial investment as the devotionals, audio meditations, and group sessions alone are worth much more than the cost of the retreat. Will you join us and gift yourself the time and space to prepare yourself (body and spirit) this season?
