Four Days: Dec 30th, 2020—Jan 2nd, 2021
10 am - 4 pm (PT)
In this four-day New Year’s Retreat, award-winning author Veronica Mary Rolf and contemplative-scholar Eva Natanya will explore what it would take to believe so firmly in resurrection—both Christ’s glorification and the promise of our own—that our lives would be radically transformed by that faith right now.
Based on their new book, Living Resurrected Lives: What it Means and Why it Matters (Cascade Books 2020), Veronica and Eva will take a daringly integrated approach, balancing careful consideration of sacred Scripture with attention to history, theology, inter-contemplative religious dialogue, and personal meditative practice.
Over the course of four days, they will:
Each Retreat Day includes 5 hours of teachings, guided meditations, dialogue and Q & A (with a lunch break).

Over the course of four days, they will:
- Offer compelling arguments to re-establish a bedrock for belief in the Gospel accounts
- Elucidate St. Paul’s teachings on the transformation of the body and grapple with age-old conundrums about what happens to corpses and the continuity of personal identity: What dies? What lives on?
- Suggest a new theological perspective that integrates quantum uncertainty with reflections on the malleable nature of identity
- Revisit early Christian intuitions about the sublime qualities of the glorified body and explore how we might cultivate such qualities through our own individual practice.
- Discuss Tibetan Buddhist teachings on the great transference rainbow body that may shed new light on Christian understanding of the resurrected body.
- Provide heart-stirring guided meditations on the resurrection experience described in the Gospels.
- Propose an embodied resurrection mysticism that can permeate—and transform—our lived practice every day.

Veronica Mary Rolf
Saturday, December 5th, 2020

Suddenly There is God:
Finding Christ in the Crisis
An Online Zoom Retreat with
Veronica Mary Rolf
Can we find Christ within our suffering—even when the global crisis feels overwhelming?
Is Scripture still alive with God's Word—speaking to our own personal life experience?
How may we become a people of compassion and hope—precisely within the crisis?
