Advent - 2012
Mary, the Reed of God: An Advent Retreat
Monday, December 3 - Thursday, December 6, 2012
$285, includes 3 nights lodging, all meals and program
Facilitators - Emily Wilmer and Katie Warren
Drawing on the book The Reed of God by Caryll Houselander (British 1901-1945) participants are invited to reflect on the images of a reed flute, bird nest and chalice as metaphors for Mary, Mother of Christ, how Mary can inform our experiences as modern people, and how we, like Mary, are invited to be Christ-bearers in the world. Using these images along with prayer, poetry, music, art, small group and personal reflection time undergirded by the gift of silence and rest, we will prepare ourselves for the season.
The facilitator, Emily Wilmer, offers spiritual direction, workshops, and retreats throughout the USA and the United Kingdom. She currently is co-steward with her husband; the Rev. David Keller, of Oasis of Wisdom, An Institute for Contemplative Studies, Practice and Living located in Asheville NC. (www.oasisofwisdom.net). She completed the two year course in individual spiritual direction at the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation in Washington, DC and trained with Lauren Artress in San Francisco in the facilitation of the
labyrinth as a spiritual tool.
Katie Warren, MAEd., is a spiritual director and art facilitator. She provides individual and art and group spiritual direction as a provider with the Potter’s Touch - a counseling and spiritual direction network of the UMC. Katie completed the Sursum Corda Spiritual Directors Formation Program. She is trained as a Soul/Collage facilitator.
Come away to the mountains of Western North Carolina for this 3 day retreat in preparation for the season of Advent. All participants will have a private room and bath (unless a roommate is requested). You will have full access to the beautiful grounds with our extensive trails, creeks and waterfalls. You can also walk our indoor and outdoor labyrinths or just rest and enjoy one of our many rocking chairs or a chair in front of the fireplace.
