“In the desert tradition, prayer was focused on letting go and renouncing anything that gets in the way of a relationship with God.  Prayer was an acceptance of our own frailty and the frailty of the world we live in.”

Join us for this 3-hour online mini-retreat in time outside of time. The days around late October and early November are especially sacred in the Celtic tradition, when the veil between worlds is thin. The Christian tradition celebrates November as the month of the dead. It is a threshold time, when the old falls away and the new is coming into birth. When heaven and earth kiss. As the nights grow ever darker in the northern hemisphere we are invited to listen for the voices of the saints and ancestors.
