Description

There are beating hearts in the garden of life, and we hear echoes of other stories in our tradition in this Easter story. By holding them side by side and pondering on them, we gain insight into the true meaning of Easter. We come heart to heart with the ever-seeking Mary Magdalene and the two early morning runners and learn how to see. We ponder what spiritual practice will nourish us during the 50 Great Days of Easter.

There is no right or wrong way to make this Easter retreat. I suggest that you scan it to get a sense of what it is about. Then, let your heart decide how to intentionally use the retreat. You might want to set aside an hour or a half day of quiet time. You might want to get up at sunrise, matching your setting with the time of the story. You might want to work with the retreat over a few days, allowing it to work in you. You will know what your heart needs and what fits with the realities of your life.

You might also want to create an Easter altar-table for your Easter retreat space. Think about what objects support a celebration of Easter for you. What might symbolize Light? What might represent cast-aside burial clothes? Could you place a prayer stone? What is your symbol of new life? Perhaps as you work through the retreat, you’ll write quotes or scripture sentences to add to your space. May the words of this retreat and your inner work bring you heart to heart with the One who is Love.”
