November 29: "Praying in Color: A Workshop for Advent"

Date and Time: Sunday, November 29 at 5:00pm (MT) / 6:00pm (CT) This workshop will be offered online via Zoom. Advent is the season of preparation for God’s coming into the world as flesh and blood at Christmas. Advent—which begins on Sunday, November 29—is also the season of preparation for our daily pilgrimage with Jesus throughout the whole liturgical year. With left-brain and right-brain exercises, we will explore the rich and lush language of Advent. We will learn some meditative and playful prayer practices for use during Advent or anytime. Bring some plain paper, a pen, colored pencils or markers, and a spirit of holy Adventure. About the Presenter: Sybil MacBeth is the author of Praying in Color: Drawing a New Path to God and The Season of the Nativity: Confessions and Practices of an Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany Extremist. She combines her lifelong love of prayer and her years of experience as a community college mathematics professor to offer workshops and retreats in the U.S. and Canada. Her workshops, both prayerful and playful, engage people of varied learning styles.
