The C21 Center was excited to host this year's Advent workshop on December 3rd via Zoom! This virtual workshop was led with author, speaker, founder of Mothering Spirit, and friend of C21, Laura Kelly Fanucci. Laura introduced participants to the prayer practice of lectio divina using Advent Scripture of Mary’s Annunciation (Luke 1:26–38). The workshop was inspired by the themes of “slowing down in Advent” and “preparing by listening to God,” in which participants learned about and practice lectio divina as a new or renewed prayer practice to use during Advent and take into the New Year.
