An online retreat for Advent 2023.
This year’s online Advent retreat is “Let the wilderness bloom!” Drawing on the life of John the Baptist, we will explore themes of silence, solitude, dryness and vulnerability, moving towards resilience, promise and hope. These webinars will be live on YouTube on Monday evenings from 27th November at 7.30 pm, and available as a podcast the following day.
With plenty of time for prayer and contemplation, join Fr John Udris and Avril Baigent as we seize the opportunity to switch off from all the pressures on us and just ‘be’.
Let the Wilderness Bloom was presented by Avril Baigent and Fr John Udris. Technical production was by Martin Campbell and the music was created by Quincas Moreira and Aakash Gandhi.
Thanks for joining us for our 2023 advent retreat. We hope to see you again for our programmes next year over on YouTube. or here, on your favourite podcasting app.
In the meantime, we wish you all the joy of Christmas and a happy new year.
