SUMMARY:A Brush with God
DESCRIPTION:Peter Pearson\, MDiv\, ThD \nAn Icon for Advent\nIn Advent\, we often set our attention on the coming of the Baby Jesus in the manger. But Advent also invites us to remember Christ as the Lord of History\, who will return to bring everything to completion. He is both Alpha and Omega\, the beginning and the end. \nIn December\, we will paint an image of Jesus as Lord of History\, using an icon by Ruberval Monteiro\, OSB as our prototype. His icons are both traditional and contemporary\, often incorporating patterns and textures into his work. Join us for a weekend of prayerful painting and community under the guidance of Peter Pearson\, who has been a presenter at the Casa for over 30 years. \nWe work Thursday evening after dinner\, Friday evening after dinner\, all day Saturday (9 am – 4 pm)\, and half-day Sunday (1 – 4 pm). There will be additional times available to work on a second icon for those who are interested. This is completely optional. \nFee: Single\, $625 includes meals and lodging; Commuter\, $425 includes 2 dinners and 1 lunch. Pre-registration required. \nFor information on doubles or scholarships\, please email lora@thecasa.org \nSign Up By Wed\, Dec 2 at 4:00 pm \nhttps://frc.retreatportal.com/calendar/event?programcode=26AER77094

SUMMARY:Our Lady of Guadalupe Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Arasely Rios and Monique & Joseph Julian Gonzalez \nJoin us for a transformative weekend!\nEmbrace the spiritual power of Our Lady of Guadalupe as you explore her profound legacy and symbolism. Allow this sacred journey to inspire your creativity as you craft your very own devotional jewelry piece from Seraphym—a personal reflection of faith and devotion to carry with you. \nThis is more than just a retreat; it’s an opportunity to connect deeply with your faith and create a lasting piece of sacred art. Don’t miss this chance to experience faith\, creativity\, and devotion in a truly unique way. \nJoin Arasely for a transformative experience exploring the deep spiritual significance of Our Lady of Guadalupe\, a central figure in her life and work. Participants will gain insight into the story of Our Lady of Guadalupe. \nIn a hands-on session\, Arasely will guide attendees in designing their own custom Seraphym jewelry piece\, using solid bronze medallions of Our Lady of Guadalupe and high-quality Seraphym components. Each attendee will create a personal piece to take home\, a reflection of the Virgin’s powerful message. This session offers a sacred space for reflection\, creativity\, and a deeper connection to a timeless spiritual tradition. To view the Seraphym collection\, visit www.seraphym.com. \nWe are honored to welcome Joseph and Monique Gonzalez as special guest speakers for this enriching retreat. The Gonzalezes\, authors of “Guadalupe and the Flower Prophecy”\, will share their groundbreaking research that unveils the connection between an ancient Aztec prophecy and the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Their insights offer a fascinating blend of cultural history and spiritual revelation\, providing a deeper understanding of this profound event. \nDuring the retreat\, you will journey through the rich history of the Aztec culture leading up to the 1531 apparition\, exploring the symbolic significance of Our Lady of Guadalupe as seen in the miraculous image on Juan Diego’s tilma.
