“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light” (Is 9:1)

A time to pause and welcome the light
This gathering is intended to be simple, peaceful, and open to all. It offers a unique opportunity to slow down, refocus, and enter into the mystery of Advent. Through guided contemplation, silence, and inner listening, we will open a space to welcome the coming of Christ into the heart of our lives, even where we feel most fragile.

A creative workshop that gives shape to hope
Shaping and painting a candle holder helps us connect more deeply with our inner experience in a tangible way. By shaping the material, we will symbolically prepare a place for Christ and welcome the light that wants to be born in us. This candle holder, a subtle companion as we move towards Christmas, will remind us that God is close to us, where we most need clarity, gentleness, and consolation.

An Advent journey accessible to all.
No artistic experience is necessary.

This retreat is bilingual.

Let us simply come with our desire to be guided, step by step, from waiting to hope, to welcome Christ who wants to be born in us every day.
