(ONLINE) THE WOMAN AT THE WELL (John 4:1-42)| An invitation to journey to the well, to Christ the Living Water.
At Jacob’s well, Jesus had a conversation with a woman; that encounter would change the lives of many. We will explore the theology and spirituality of this intriguing Gospel passage, which helps to illuminate the inner soul journey and offers an invitation to walk to the ‘well’, to Christ the Living Water.
(IN SITU) DANCE, ART & SPIRITUAL JOURNEYING...
Attending creatively to the compelling Gospel text of 'The Woman Anoints Jesus', we will explore its themes such as the beauty of our gifts, loss and retrieval... through dance, movement and art. No dance or movement experience is necessary, just a willingness to engage your mind, spirit, body and enjoy working to a greater wholeness. Due to the nature of the retreat, there are only 6 places (now only 2 left).
