Storytelling is at the heart of who we are as human beings. We might say that this is because we are created in the image of a storytelling God, for our Scriptures are predominantly a collection of stories narrating God’s relationship to God’s people. This retreat will engage us in story-sharing, a process by which we not only discover or name significant patterns of meaning and purpose in our own lives but also foster community and relationship as we tell our stories to one another. Weaving together biblical themes of call, blessing, spiritual encounters, personal relationships, and challenges or “eclipses,” we will begin metaphorically weaving tapestries with the “threads” of our own lives, as we see connections with biblical stories and honor how we hear the “threads” expressed by others. A culminating exercise will be to create a collage or other visual expression that draws together our own stories so that we can “show and tell” our tapestries together. From wherever we are as we join this retreat, we will gather on holy ground, for stories are sacred: yours, mine, and God’s.

Access to this recording (for review) will be sent only to those who are able to participate in this retreat when it is being offered. $95 CAD
