Preparing for the Garden Walk of Holy Week Retreat
March 25 @ 9:30 am - 12:30 pm
$44.99
Join Christine Sine for Preparing for the Garden Walk of Holy Week, a quiet reflective retreat the week before Palm Sunday to help prepare us for the challenging week ahead. The retreat will be online Saturday, March 25th 2023 from 9:30 am PT to 12:30pm PT.
This retreat is not just for gardeners. It is for all of us who want to follow Christ into the resurrection world of Easter. Jesus moving from garden to garden as he moves through the last few days of his life from suffering to resurrection is a concept that has long intrigued Christine. Recognizing the strong connections between the life of Christ and the beautiful creation God gifted us with has become an essential part of Christine’s walk during Lent and Easter.
When Mary Magdalene encounters the resurrected Jesus as depicted in John 20:15, she came to the garden tomb looking for Christ’s body. Instead she finds a very much alive Jesus and she thought he was the gardener. This phrase is not a throw away line. It is of cosmic significance! Jesus is indeed the gardener of the new creation and his journey from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday is an inspiring revelation of who he is in relation to creation. When we disconnect his story from its ecological roots, we suffer a dislocation that cuts us adrift. It is time to restore the missing connections.
We hope you will join her for this inspiring and revelatory time of scripture reading, quiet reflection and creative fun.
