"Say the light is what we hold for each other, carrying it in the marrow, the hollow of the heart..."

— Jan Richardson

  • Saturday, December 12, 2026
  • 10:00am - 11:30pm ET (7:00am PT | 3:00pm BST)

Sometimes the light we cannot find for ourselves is the light we hold for one another.

This Advent, we gather in sacred, devotional space to name what stays true in the darkness: that the light lives. It is stubborn. It endures.

Despite the division and conflict around us, our shared presence can generate real hope, peace, joy, and love — carrying light for one another and into a weary world.

Come rest in an online interspiritual gathering of contemplative teaching, storytelling, song, prayer, and meditation as we usher in the season of light together.

Together, we’ll make space for…

  • Stories of where light still lives — from the Closer Than Breath team
  • Live music and song — to open the heart
  • Centering Prayer sit — time to rest together in the Divine
  • Prayers for a hurting world — holding space for what’s broken in the wider field of hope
  • Warm, devotional space together — at the threshold of Christmas and the turning of the year

The light does not ask us to pretend the darkness isn’t there.


It asks us to carry it together.
