Star of the North Retreat Centre
Introducing Aurora Living: Formation Through Word & Creation Star of the North Retreat Centre has launched an online/on-site signature, three-year spiritual formation program—Aurora Living: Word & Creation. Through our emphasis on the intersection of Word, Creation, Communion, Contemplation, and Justice, Aurora Living will empower contemplative living and stimulate action for contemporary needs and times. Aurora Living aims to build an intergenerational, cultural and faith community, inspired by contemporary witnesses who are making a difference in the world. We will learn how Christian, Indigenous and other wisdom traditions can guide our response to today’s environmental and social problems. Following the arc of Scripture (from Genesis to Revelation), we will ground the program in the prophetic principles of Pope Francis’ letter to the world, Laudato Si and maintain our commitment to the Truth & Reconciliation Calls to Action. Now accepting applications for our first module—Creation: Stories of Beginnings. Find out more at starofthenorth.ca/aurora-living |
