Lace Making Retreat
July 31, 7:00 p.m. - August 7, 12:00 noon, 2010

This retreat is designed to give individuals the opportunity to experience and integrate the spirituality and the practice of making bobbin lace in a contemplative setting.  Lace making as contemplative practice creates in us heart-space where the connections with God and the dear neighbor may be woven in prayer, as surely as the design of threads and spaces evolves on the lace pillow before our eyes.  No previous experience in lace making is required.

Presenters: Janet Lander, CSJ, a Sister of St. Joseph of Concordia, has worked as an educator and missionary.  She holds a Masters in Education from Mount St. Mary’s in Los Angeles and in Pastoral Ministry from Boston College, where she also completed the Certificate in Practice of Spirituality.  She serves on the staff of Manna House of Prayer as a spiritual director, facilitator, and retreat presenter.  She is also an artist and took up the art of lace making several years ago.
