Exhausted? World weary? ADVENT CALLS US to inner renewal as we quiet ourselves and prepare again for the coming of Jesus into our hearts. But how exactly does that work in demanding and disturbing times that often leave us feeling overly busy, confused, anxious, disillusioned, and distrustful? This retreat invites us to ponder such things as we reflect on scripture, acknowledge our experience, do some journaling, and engage in gentle large and small group conversations. We will also do some drumming on Friday night and take time for silence after lunch on Saturday when there will be an opportunity to stroll through the woods, walk Chanco’s labyrinth, make a collage, or simply sit quietly and breathe deeply.

Dinner, breakfast, and lunch are included. Please bring a journal and writing tool, a small rhythm instrument if you have one (drums will be provided), walking shoes, and clothes appropriate to the weather. We begin with check-in on Friday at 5, have dinner at 6, and gather in the Spirit Center at 7. The retreat will end on Saturday around 4:30.

Angier Brock, a veteran retreat leader, is a communicant of Grace Church, Yorktown, where she facilitates a weekly Centering Prayer group on Zoom; and she plays in the handbell choir at Bruton Parish, Williamsburg. A journal keeper for nearly fifty years, she also writes poetry (including hymn and anthem texts), personal collects, and reflective prose. With an MA in Christian education and an MFA in creative writing, she has long been interested in the connection between spirituality and creativity—and she sees Advent as a particularly fertile time for weaving the two together. Currently she spends much of her time trying to stay one step ahead of her 9-month old puppy Milly.
