Praying Advent through Creation

By lwilson | May 28, 2026 |

Location: The Monastery, Cambridge
Thursday 5 p.m. – Sunday 2 p.m., December 3-6, 2026
Leader: Br. Jamie Nelson

Come and wander through Biblical narratives of wilderness, rivers, gardens, and starry skies in a retreat exploring the rich nature imagery present in the Advent lectionary. Through scripture, prayer, and creative practice, we will explore Advent as a season of watchfulness, restoration, hidden growth, and holy hospitality. Together we’ll contemplate how God’s renewing presence appears in disturbed landscapes and ordinary places made ready for hope to take root.

$465 regular
$225 student/young adult
