ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
There is an ancient stream of Christian faith — rooted in the wild landscapes of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales — that has carried prayers, practices, and a profound sense of the sacred through more than fifteen centuries.
This is an invitation to step into that stream.
What to Expect
The day will unfold through four talks, each followed by open conversation:
1. Orientation to the Celtic Christian TraditionWhere did this tradition come from, and why does it still speak?
2. Celtic Creation SpiritualityHow the Celtic imagination held the world as shot through with the presence of God.
3. Celtic SymbolsThe visual language of a people who saw eternity in the ordinary.
4. Celtic Saints and TeachersThe guides who walked this way before us.
Woven throughout the day will be time for reflection, prayer, activities and communion together.
