Advent is a holy time of waiting and preparation. This year, gather with us around the fire as we sink into the dark as the nights grow longer. Let us give space to honor the stories that rise in our dreams. Let us tend to the silence and embrace solitude.

Join us for an Advent retreat. We will spend time in silence, darkness, and song. There will be time to sing around the Advent wreath, lean into candlelit evenings, share in simple prayer rhythms, forage and weave wreathes, and plenty of time for rest and wandering.

Following this retreat, all are invited to attend Kirkridge’s 3rd Annual Winter Craft Fair.
