Holy Saturday Retreat - Accompanying Jesus and Mary Magdalene

  • St Andrew's Anglican Church 20955 Old Yale Rd Langley, BC, V3A 7P8 Canada (map)

Facilitated by Heather Ruce

In collaboration with The Contemplative Society (Cynthia Bourgeault)

Holy Saturday marks Jesus’ journeys into the heart of the earth in which he not only encounters the most constricted, cut off and hurt states of human consciousness in the collective false self but allows love to reach them and weave them into the whole. Meanwhile Mary Magdalene, the Tower, keeps vigil with a heart open in love as Jesus enters this pivotal point in the passion events, the outcome of which is still unknown to her. We are invited to enter this day from a wisdom point of view opening ourselves to the possibility of embodying the postures of Jesus and Mary Magdalene in the context of our very own lives.

 

Join us at the Centre for Spiritual Renewal for a contemplative wisdom retreat in which we engage this sacred day with our minds, feelings, and body through teaching, reflection and shared wisdom practices.
