Exploring Desert Wisdom: A Contemplative Lenten Retreat on Zoom

  • Wisdom House Retreat & Conference Center 229 East Litchfield Road Litchfield, CT, 06759 United States (map)

Presented by Anne Simpkinson

Exploring Desert Wisdom: In the fourth and fifth centuries, hundreds of years after Christ’s birth, literally thousands of early Christians flocked to the desert to deepen their relationship with Christ. In this retreat, we will explore the power of the desert through psalms, Desert Father and Mother sayings and contemporary literature as well as Centering Prayer and lectio divina. It will be a time to quiet our minds and open our hearts to the desert’s wisdom relevant to our Lenten journeys.
