Join our house chef, Steven, for a hands-on weekend retreat of cooking, community and conversation as we explore how our faith calls us to break bread with each other. This 2-night experience will include several different communal cooking activities (including with the wood-fire pizza oven!), conversations about the place food has held in our lives and in our faith, and time for personal reflection and meditation. It is the perfect way to feed your hungry soul and get into the Advent spirit of waiting with open hearts and active hands!

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in. (Matthew 25:35)
