As Lent leads to Easter in the Christian tradition, Easter leads to Pentecost with the death and resurrection of Jesus culminating in His ascension and the coming of the Holy Spirit. Pentecost is celebrated 50 days after Easter as Christians mark the birth of the Church with the Spirit descending in wind and fire, and anointing followers of Jesus to speak and preach.
We invite you to join us during Pentecost weekend (May 18-19) for a Labyrinth Pentecost Retreat - "Alive in the Spirit". We will allow the images of the Spirit to open us to the mystery of God's coming into our lives. We will pair individual and group labyrinth walks with poetry, artwork, and time for reflection. Join us Saturday, May 18th (9:30 am to 3:30 pm) with overnight options into Pentecost Sunday, May 19th, as we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit with a Pentecost Community Labyrinth Walk (Sunday from 10 am to 12 noon). The full weekend retreat ends on Sunday after lunch by 2:00 pm. Those who stay for the full retreat (with overnight Saturday into Sunday) will have the unique opportunity to join us for an inspiring EVENING LABYRINTH WALK outside under the stars (weather permitting). Whether you come Saturday only, Saturday into Sunday, or Sunday only, we have options that will allow the Spirit to fall upon you... and flow in you and through you... as you discover the beauty of the labyrinth.
If you are still making plans for your Holy Week and Easter celebrations, we invite you to join us next week...
