Details of this retreat

Embark on a captivating Advent journey that will transform your perspective on the holiday season. This unique book study invites you to explore the profound wisdom hidden in nature's winter adaptations, offering a fresh and inspiring approach to the Christ story.

Every single creature is full of God and is a book about God.  Every creature is a word of God. If I spend enough time with the tiniest creature, even a caterpillar, I would never have to prepare a sermon. So full of God is every creature. – Meister Eckhart

All Creation Waits: The Advent Mystery of New Beginnings

Each week, we’ll uncover the wisdom of winter as we explore how northern animals adapt to darkness and cold, revealing the promise of new beginnings. Step away from the holiday hustle and immerse yourself in a reflective study that will inspire your spirit and deepen your connection to this sacred season.

Join us for our four week Advent study All Creation Waits: The Advent Mystery of New Beginnings. The ZOOM link for these sessions will be emailed to those who have registered the week prior to the start of sessions on November 26th.

As Gayle Boss describes in the introduction:

The practice of Advent has always been about helping us to grasp the mystery of a new beginning out of what looks like death. Other-than-human creatures – sprung like us from the Source of Life – manifest this mystery without question or doubt. The more I’m with animals and the more I learn about them, the more I know they can be more than our companions on this planet. They can be our guides. They can be to us “a book about God… a word of God,” the God who comes, even in the darkest season, to bring us a new beginning.

Come to the Table/Genesis Spiritual Center
What a wonderful experience at Genesis Spiritual Center! A warm and welcoming atmosphere with a content that nurtured the souls of those who attended. I enjoyed the presentation and focus on biblical teachings. Breaking into smaller groups allowed participants to share more intimately. I felt nurtured spiritually and was able to connect with other “family” members. The snacks/lunch provided just added to my appreciation of this spiritual retreat gem. I definitely plan to attend more programs in the near future 🥰

BioSpiritual Focusing Retreat - A doorway into your inner depths
This was an excellent program and introduction to BioSpiritual Focusing. I did not realize just how much our body has to teach us. We focus so much on spiritual "head" work (thinking) and do not really understand how to let our body speak to us in ways that deepen our "heart" work (spirit/soul). Thank you Donna for leading us on this wonderful adventure and opening up new possibilities for each of us.
