What Wisdom Do These Celebrations Offer?
What wisdom do these celebrations offer us during the darkest time of the year? Join this Interfaith Advent celebration to honor the varied Festivals of Light, exploring the mysteries they reveal—from Solstice to Kwanzaa, Hanukkah to Christmas. This season teaches us of resilience, finding light in the darkness, and the power of community.
We’ll dive into what science reveals about the wonder of light, along with mystics who speak of the “spark of the soul” that never fades—the birth of divinity as a child of light, which each of us carries within.
Advent: A Sacred Journey into Light & Mystery
Advent is a time for inner reflection, prayer, and meditation. In the Christian tradition, this season highlights the Divine Feminine: two pregnant women, Mary and Elizabeth, sharing blessings at home. They listen to each other’s wisdom as they prepare to bring forth the Divine. This season invites intimacy, connection, and listening “with the ear of the heart” (St. Benedict).
