As the holy season of Advent begins, come away for soul-nourishment amidst the stillness and natural beauty of Rolling Ridge's mountain retreat. Take this little bit of time apart from a culturally busy holiday month to quiet your mind and body, rekindle your heart's deepest longing, and open anew to the profound gift and promise of God With Us. This retreat will flow naturally from the 24-hour retreat on "Seeking Beauty." You are invited to join us for that retreat in its entirety which begins Friday at 7 pm. Or else come join us for the closing/beginning dinner Saturday night at 5:30 pm. Our formal Advent program will conclude with lunch on Sunday, though you can stay longer into the afternoon to pray, hike, or just sit in front of the fire. The cost for Beauty Retreat participants is an additional $15; Advent Retreat only is $25.

For more information and to register contact Vivian at vvatrr@juno.com or phone at 304-725-4172.

Led by Rachelle Lyndaker Schlabach and Trish Stefanik.

December 1-2, 2006
Friday 7:00 pm - Saturday 7:00 pm
Retreat House
Body:

A work of becoming human is to seek qualities which are thought of as beautiful. This idea is applied to a wide variety of experiences with nature and with items created by humans. Much diverse literature and our common language point us toward this insight. If imagination fosters a desire to create beauty, then to fail to cultivate it in each person diminishes a community. In this retreat we seek to understand and to celebrate this indispensable and sometimes misunderstood element of being human.

The retreat has been designed by five persons, and each will share insight on beauty as noted below. All retreat registrants will be mailed a brief reader on selected aspects of the theme. During retreat all participants are encouraged to share both their learnings as well as samples of their personal creative works in any medium.

  • Understandings of Beauty — beauty's magnetism, beauty as sacrifice, beauty which derives from loss, beauty's transcendental quality and relation to nature — Phil Bufithis
  • Discovering Beauty Following Personal Loss — Barkley Sutherland
  • Experiencing Beauty in both Simplicity and Complexity — Vivian Headings
  • Imagination's Urge To Create — Verle Headings
  • The Beautiful Nature of God as Experienced in Contemplative Prayer and Practice — Trish Stefanik

This is a 24-hour retreat beginning with Friday evening dinner through Saturday evening dinner. The cost is $50.

For more information and to register contact Vivian at vvatrr@juno.com or phone at 304-725-4172.
