An Advent/Winter Solstice Daylong Retreat
All times listed below are EST
Join When You Can!!
Registration is required
Registrations closes on December 18, 2024
Dear Friends,
In the midst of the busyness, we are inviting you to come away to the quiet of a day-long, Advent/Winter Solstice Retreat. Our retreat will follow the times of the Liturgy of the Hours. At each of the designated hours, there will be a short presentation followed by meditation. The presentations at each liturgical hour may include Poetry, Lectio Divina, Music and Readings.
In between the live presentations, you will be invited to personal reflection, walking meditation, acts of kindness, gratitude, journaling, photography, and other contemplative practices to help you stay deeply centered, making this whole day an offering of your life.
We will follow the traditional Hours practiced by monks and mystics in monasteries, hermitages and at home. All times are Eastern Standard Times, please convert to your time zone!
Liturgy of the Hours
5:30 am Vigils
6:45 am Lauds
7:30 am Terce
12:15 pm Sext
2:15 pm None
5:30 pm Vespers with Communion

The Zoom-room will remain open for the entire length of the day (15 hours). You are welcome to stay connected for the whole day or come and go as you need to. All participants will be muted upon arrival to keep the silence we are creating together. Conversation and or sharing may be part of several of the presentation times where you will be invited to share with the group.
Although this special opportunity is offered freely, we ask all who register to consider making a donation to WCCM-USA of $20 to help us present more events like this in the future. You may do that through our Donate button on the WCCM-USA website (https://wccm-usa.org/support-our-work/). Please share this opportunity with others who may be interested.
See you in December!
