London: Jesse Tree Creativity and Spiritual Retreat Day
The second Jesse Tree Creativity and Spiritual Retreat Day takes place next week. JudyAnn Masters writes: We'll be meeting again at the Oblate Retreat Centre, DeMazenod House, 62 Chamber St. London E1 7BL on Saturday 5 November at 10:30 for 11am start.
Last month we looked at Christ's and our own genealogy in terms of Nature, the physical bloodline, physical body that connects us to God. We experienced an aspect of Jesus' genealogy that is connected to our own family tree (including adopted family lines).
This month, we again use The Jesse Tree to help examine the Nurturing Aspect of Christ's and our family tree. We will use our creative energy/gift to connect to God on a different level, a level that runs through you and your extended family. Guaranteed to be interesting and hopefully touching another part of your spiritual make-up. Plus it's fun to get your hands into colour and form.
The day, as always, ends with Mass and Reconciliation is available on request.
Attendance to the first session is not required for attending this session.
• Bring your journals (new people will be given one), your family tree sheets, a packed lunch and a donation of £12-
• Creative supplies and coffee/tea provided. If you have a creative medium--like photos etc--bring it.
• Please RSVP so I know how many people to prepare for. Contact info on attached booking form.
I look forward to seeing you Saturday 5 November. Any questions just email or call 07944490072.
