Join our quarterly Zoom Meetup for spiritual directors who are interested in applying the wisdom of tradition to the care of souls.

Topic: Advent: The Way Things Really Are with the Rev. Dr. Les Martin

Advent is about revelation. Whether we are speaking of the first or second coming of Our Lord, the season endeavors to tell us the way things really are. In this talk, we will seek to understand the liturgical framework of the season, apply it to our own spirituality, and also consider how the practices of Advent can be a source of revelation for those we work with as spiritual directors.
