Christmas is a time of gift-giving. A gift is not just a cheap novelty, but something that brings newness, renewing our relationships and changing our way of being. If we can learn to freely give and accept a gift, we can enter into a new kind of relationship. The newness of the birth of Jesus is God’s incarnational gift to us, a gift we learn to accept through the practice of meditation.
This event is online and free.
