This is our second collaborative effort between Creation Spirituality Communities and Mountain Light Retreat at following a book by Christine Valters Paintner in order to have discussion and an in-home retreat for what many hold as a sacred season in which to focus on what to leave behind and what to grow into more. It is hoped to be a forty-day sacred journey through the wilderness—right in our own homes, on our own schedules. Our guide will be Mary Ann Wamhoff of Creation Spirituality Communities, an international group which helps us feel connected in our desire to live fully into respectful community. We will meet on Wednesdays from 7:00-8:30 pm on zoom on the following dates: 2/11, 2/25, 3/4, 3/11, 3/18, 3/25, 4/1, 4/8. The meetings will be recorded. Reserve your space for this free offering now by contacting Debbie: Debbie@mountainlightretreatva.com.

Join us this spring to practice ways to embrace presence, abundance, slowness, tenderness, unfolding, and mystery. We’ll read and discuss. We’ll journal and pray. We’ll walk the labyrinth. The registration for the zoom link will be through Creation Spirituality Communities.

Hopefully, we’ll strengthen some practices we can carry with us into the rest of the year. As Paintner says: “our invitation is to practice here and now.” We shall attempt to empty in order to be filled.
