December 4, 2010	Creative Waiting in a Time of Instant Gratification An Advent Inner Journey Day for Women. Right Turn on Red – Instant Messaging – Day Planners – Cell Phones – 24 Hour Cable News. The world around us spins ever faster yet God’s chosen people are called to wait for the coming. Creative waiting -neither frantic motion nor passive inactivity – precedes the Birth. In this season, find time and space within yourself to gestate and prepare to welcome the light. The structure of the day includes sessions, open times for meditating, walking the grounds, journaling, reading and private prayer. This is not a preached retreat. Mary Ann Warner of Hastings, NE and Barb Byers of Omaha, NE have each received professional training in spiritual direction and retreat ministry. They have a unique ability to meet others where they are and accept them as they are. This allows participants to return to daily life, nurtured, renewed and energized in their personal relationship with God. $ 30 - Register Here

From Dec. 20, 2010, thru Jan. 2, 2011, St. Benedict Center will be closed.
