Women's Retreat + Sept. 14-16, 2012 + Quarterman Ranch

Weaving Heaven and Earth: Praying in the Celtic Christian Tradition

Mary C. Earle is an Episcopal priest, writer, retreat leader and spiritual director, who taught classes in spirituality for the Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest until her retirement.  Her home parish is St. Mark’s in San

Antonio. Her recent book, Celtic Christian Spirituality: Essential Writings (SkyLight Paths) was released in June, 2011. 

Her newest work, titled Marvelously Made: Gratefulness and the Body was released in May 2012.  Mary has also written about the desert

mothers, the Benedictine Rule and living with illness, and about the Celtic saints. She and her husband Doug, also an Episcopal priest, live

with three border collies, two cats and a lot of gardens. Their son Jason is a professor of French at Sarah Lawrence College in New York.

When women gather together, we often weave together stories and

prayer, faith and intercessions, sorrows and joys. During this

retreat, we will draw on prayers from the traditions of Scotland,

Ireland, Wales, Cornwall and Brittany. We will grow in awareness

of Christ’s presence in and through every circumstance of our lives.
