DESCRIPTION:This evening Advent retreat offers time in the collective with 
 the facilitators bringing fascinating facets of Mary. A variety of quiet\,
  stillness\, and hands-on practices will emerge from story and heart-felt 
 sharing. The faces\, postures\, and heart of Mary hold the paradox of wait
 ing\; like winter when nothing seems to be happening\, but so much is goin
 g on beneath first glance. Mary guides us with the art of holding paradox 
 - waiting while much is being prepared to emerge. Together we will deepen 
 into the necessary waiting and wondering of Advent in patient trust with w
 hat we can’t “see” .\n(This retreat will be recorded for later acces
 s by participants.)\n\nThis retreat is facilitated by Gillian Drader and L
 orie Martin - deeply experienced companions in the contemplative tradition
  who have hosted retreats together before and collectively bring a wealth 
 of knowledge and pastoral wisdom to this gathering. Lorie Martin is a long
 time board member of The Contemplative Society (TCS) and an Anglican pries
 t in Chilliwack\, BC\, where she leads the Centre for Spiritual Renewal lo
 cated at St. Thomas Anglican Church. Gillian Drader is also a longtime TCS
  board member and a holistic therapist\, bringing both contemplative and t
 herapeutic gifts to the retreat space. Together\, they offer a blend of sp
 iritual direction\, theological reflection\, and holistic care grounded in
  years of shared practice and retreat leadership.\n\nRegistration\n$45 or
