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.
The day will unfold through four talks, each followed by open conversation:
1. ORIENTATION TO THE CELTIC CHRISTIAN TRADITION: Where did this tradition come from, and why does it still speak?
2. CELTIC CHRISTIAN SPIRITUALITY: How the Celtic imagination held the world as shot through with the presence of God.
3. CELTIC SYMBOLS: The visual language of a people who saw eternity in the ordinary.
4. CELTIC SAINTS & TEACHERS: The guides who walked this way before us.
Woven throughout the day will be time for reflection, prayer, activities and communion together.
