This Advent, we will walk the path taught to us by John the Baptist who had learned to empty himself so completely, to be “empty and bare as the desert”  in which he lived, and where he discovered and enjoyed God’s birthing within himself.   In the subtle beauty and the colourful hues of the silence of the desert, we will create the necessary quiet to prepare our hearts for the birthing of the Word, personally and communally.   Over five days, we will soak in the wisdom of St John the Baptist, accompanied by the mystics, artists and poets who know this blossoming place in the soul, and are deeply versed in the wisdom of  unitive consciousness.  

The retreat will be facilitated by Robyn Fitzgerald who will be joined by Sister Madeline Duckett rsm to offer spiritual direction.   The retreat will be offered on-line.   The cost of the retreat is $350.00 and includes daily teachings, guided meditations and spiritual direction. Recordings of the material will be made available each evening.  You are warmly invited to contact Robyn Fitzgerald at robfitz65@gmail.com for further information.
