A Time to Go Dark
A Solstice silent retreat
December 2-4, 2016
To go into the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark, go without sight
And find that dark, too, blooms and sings
And is traveled with dark feet and dark wings.
Wendell Berry
As the year completes itself in winter night, and as the days grow shorter, we can draw into ourselves, as the iris withdraws into its rhizome, and pull back from multitasking and the insistent activity of our days, to take time for reflection and replenishment.
Come to a silent retreat weekend at Four Springs. Our time will be one of structureless structure. There will be planned and unplanned meditation, materials for creativity, time for walking and writing and sleep, and food for body and soul. Leave your daily cares behind, and bring your longing self to a silent solstice of solace.
