Before the busyness of the holiday season sets in, you’re invited to step away for three meaningful days of focus, reflection, and preparation. This retreat is designed to help you intentionally prepare your heart for the celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus this Advent season.

Through a practical, hands-on workshop, you will create a beautiful handmade paper journal—hand-stitched and thoughtfully embellished with scripture, reflections, and personal notes. The finished piece will be a treasured keepsake, filled with daily devotionals for the Christmas season and space for your own memories, reflections, and even favourite festive recipes. You’ll head home with your very own stunning handmade Christmas journal, ready to be filled or displayed as a meaningful festive piece.
