Tune into Nature as all Creation Waits for the Coming of the Light

You are warmly invited to join us for the four Sundays of Advent, leading us towards the Birth of Light. We will explore the insights and gifts from the Natural World as we light a candle each Sunday. Our Advent wreath symbolizes our personal waiting experience from the darkness to the Light. Week by week, the candles remind us that fear and hopelessness recede as more warmth enters the world. The flame of each new candle reminds us that more is yet to come. Each week will consist of a Candle lighting meditation, a Wisdom story from our forest friends, a time to write, and a time to share our insights.

Guided by Ron Moor

In a time of turmoil and shifting worldviews, we may be standing at the threshold of a transformation of consciousness itself. Guided by Ron Moor, this retreat invites us to explore the many beings within our inner world—saints, heroes, villains, and archetypal symbols—that shape both personal and collective experience. Drawing on insights from Jean Gebser, we’ll take the long view of how new awareness emerges through individuals, stirs chaos, and gives rise to the new. With archetypes and ancestors at the ready, participants are invited into a living exploration of what it means to “be” in this moment of profound change.

Featuring the Recorded Teachings of Sister Gabe, Guided by Rosalie Hooper

This special program honors the legacy of Sr. Gabe. Participants will be guided by Rosalie Hooper Thomas while engaging with the original recorded teachings of Sr. Gabe. It is a heartfelt opportunity to continue learning from her wisdom and presence, even after her passing.

Together we will enter the multi-dimensional world of the inner dreamer, exploring how dreams reveal the Soul’s depth and wisdom. Drawing from sacred traditions and our own experiences, we’ll reflect on how dreaming shapes our understanding of Spirit, Life, and even the Earth itself.
