Presenter: Gordon Creamer

The lore surrounding the Magi has fascinated generations of believers and seekers for countless centuries. Couched in the mystique of the Christmas story, the role of these wise astrologers has evolved over time for individuals and communities as their personal meaning and contributions have been explored.

Join us on the Epiphany (or “Little Christmas” as it is known) for a mini retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. During our gathering together via Zoom, those present will consider information about these ancient figures and their legacy while applying the gift of their star-inspired journey to each participant’s respective story. Moreover, there will be opportunities to engage in meditation, prayer, and other meaningful exercises for a deeper appreciation of how the Magi offer a unique spiritual treasure to our perennial celebration of Christmas and what it means to live life as a journey.

Please bring a journal for use throughout the virtual program.

Participants are welcome to decorate their Zoom space before the program begins with sacred art, ornaments, or artifacts that personally symbolize the Epiphany or Magi for them. Guided by Gordon Creamer.

This is a virtual program. A Zoom Meeting link will be emailed to registered participants by Friday, January 3, 2025. When registering, please be sure to include the correct email address to which the Zoom link should be sent.
