Fasting & Silence

Fasting & Silence *
A transformational encounter.
November 1-3, 2024
at Rivendell on Bowen Island
Fasting from food for bread from heaven.
We have been formed (malformed) by a culture that can never satisfy its hunger for more. In our spiritual pursuit of the fullness that Jesus modelled and longs to give, we seek to prioritize the kingdom by exploring the discipline of fasting.
Fasting is an ancient Christian practise that re-orientates our desires and satisfies the deepest longings of our souls.
Our hope is that fasting together will re-form us to bring a fullness internally that overflows in our everyday lives. We long to move from never enough to more than enough!
Fasting from noise for silence from heaven.
Hurry, alarms, music, demands, text prompts, rings, email notifications, talking, shouting, screens, meetings and well, even the sound of our own voice, fill all the space, all the time!
What if we could press pause for a few hours, or a few days?
What if the intentional quieting of the external noise could allow the still small voice of the Spirit to speak to us internally?
That is our hope! We’ll explore this practise together with dedicated silence and times of solitude.
