Pathways Retreat

Candlemas and Crepes

The celebration of Candlemas on the 40th day of the Christmas/Epiphany season, originated in the late fourth century as a day of light and hope. In some parts of Europe, such as France, people prepare and cook crepes to celebrate Candlemas.
On Wednesday, January 26, 11 people gathered for Candlemas and Crepes Celebration on Zoom. In this simple service of light and blessing, the candles to be used this year at Pathways Retreat were blessed.

Contemplative Sit Monthly Practice

Tuesdays, 8-8:30 am

Our contemplative practice for January is “Being Here.” Despite uncertainty and disorder, the present moment is a great opportunity to awaken to deeper transformation, love, and hope. Amid the widespread need for healing, reality offers us an invitation to depth—to discover what is lasting and what matters.
