Threshold Moments

We will explore our theme through Mary’s threshold moments of the annunciation, conception, and ‘bearing forth’ of the Christ Child. In community and in solitude, participants will be invited to ponder, “How do we receive and nurture the Christ within so that Christ might be borne into the world through us”.

As part of the Canadian School of Celtic Consciousness program, we offer quarterly events for those attending or have attended our annual July program. John Philip has suggested these gatherings as a means to build on the experience and learning of the annual three-day schools; and to nurture study, spiritual practice, community and action.

The quarterly gathering can include an overnight ‘mini-retreat’. Guests can arrive the evening before the event, stay overnight in our Main Building in single or shared rooms.  There is time to slow down, read or journal by the fire, meditate or pray in our interfaith prayer space, or go for a walk in the forest.  The Gathering takes place between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm.  You can also just come for the day and not include an overnight.

The dates of our Quarterly Gatherings for 2019-2020 are:

November 5th, 2019  (Threshold Moments)

February 18th, 2020  (Peregrinations pro Christo)
