BE Still With Jesus | Advent | A BEloved Series Retreat

About this Gathering:

Whether you’re weary or well this December, doubting or deeply connected, burned out or brimming with joy—this mini-retreat is a space to enter into the sacred, invitational (for however you BE as you arrive) ... to pause, breathe, and BE with Jesus… Emmanuel, God WITH us.

We’ll draw on some of the voices who have shaped and steadied the Church through this season for centuries, including:

“The word Advent means ‘expectation.’ What Advent can do for us is create a sense of hope.” — Louie Giglio

“The Lord is coming, always coming… Life is Advent; life is recognizing the coming of the Lord.” — Henri Nouwen

“Stay. Sit. Linger. Tarry. Ponder. Wait. Behold. Wonder. For now, stay. Wait. Something is on the horizon.” — Jan Richardson

Led by: Sarah Davison-Tracy

Hosted by: Seeds of Exchange | ROOTED (in Jesus) series

Saturday, December 13 | ⏰ 10 AM–1 PM

Seeds Headquarters (aka DT House) | Park Hill, Denver, CO

Feel Free to Come Early! ☕

At 9:30 AM, arrive for a bonus 30 minutes of quiet.

Grab a cappuccino, chai, or sparkling water … sit by the fireplace, grab a cozy blanket, journal, read, or simply be.

This Gathering is for You if You’re ...

• Facing big decisions or transitions and longing for Jesus to Shepherd you

• Feeling alone, lonely, isolated, or not-quite-lovable … and not sure you even have the energy to be with others—or with Jesus
• Feeling like you don’t even have time for a retreat like this (which might mean it’s exactly what your soul needs 😌)

One Last Note

Still unsure if this is for you?
Come anyway. Let Jesus surprise you.

If your cup feels empty …
If your soul is tired …
If Jesus feels far …
Or if you’re full and overflowing with joy …

Come. Pause. Breathe. BE.

We can’t wait to welcome you.
