About our Retreat: If we are really paying attention to what’s happening within and around us, we will always be grieving something, and we will always be celebrating something. There is no moment in our lives when the notes of sorrow and joy do not sound together. What can be gained by tuning into this tension, and how might it lead us to the very heart of God? Catherine Ricketts will guide us through these questions with personal narrative and a study of sorrow and joy in the life of Christ.  We’ll then consider how the arts can uniquely help us to hold this tension, and we’ll have the opportunity to respond during a memoir-writing workshop. meditative art workshop, or yoga.
