Soul Care Retreat: Calling in the Wilderness (Advent)

There had been no prophet in the land for centuries. So John the Baptist, standing in the barren Judean wilderness, announces God’s Word to hearts as much in need of refreshment as the land itself. Let’s listen to that solitary voice ourselves. There is a twofold message: a summons to repentance and an announcement of the coming of the Kingdom of God. In this Advent retreat we too will listen and respond, preparing a way for the Lord in our own times.

Space is limited to 18 participants.

God has two main callings in Mitzi’s life: to care for those who care for others and to be a guide in helping others have a healthy relationship with the Trinity – recognizing God’s loving presence and activity in their lives and how to faithfully respond.

“Selah was a transformative experience for me – allowing the contemplative within to emerge and to beautifully co-exist with my extraverted personality.“
