Enrollment to our Bringing Advent to Life online retreat closes TONIGHT at 11:00pm Pacific. (That’s just a few hours from now).
And if you haven’t already joined us, I realize it might be because you still have some questions. So I’d love to answer some of the biggest questions we’ve been getting about Bringing Advent to Life right here.
Q. When is the deadline to enroll in the retreat?
Because we’ve been getting so many questions, we decided to extend enrollment through TONIGHT at 11:00pm Pacific.
Q. Can I watch a replay of the free workshop?
Yes, you can click here to view a replay of the free workshop we offered earlier this week. But it is only available through tonight at 11pm Pacific.
Q. Is the Bringing Advent to Life online retreat free?
The online workshop we offered earlier this week was free and you can watch a replay if you missed it. The retreat itself does have a cost and there are two levels to choose from:
- Individuals/Families – $47
- Small Groups – $67
Q. What is the difference between the two levels?
Both the Individual/Family and Small Group levels includes:
- Four weekly Scripture study and meditation videos (released each Monday)
- Four weekly video blessing (released each Friday)
- Exclusive access to the private retreat Facebook group
- Bonus #1: Printable Retreat Journal
- Bonus #2: Printable Resource Pages
In addition to all of the above, the Small Groups level includes:
- Permission to use all retreat materials in a small group setting
- Bonus #1: Training Video – “Doing Lectio in a Group”
- Bonus #2: Printable Leader Resources
Q. How do I enroll in the Bringing Advent to Life online retreat?
Once you are on the enrollment page, simply:
- Click the orange “Enroll in the Retreat Now” button
- Select your level (Individual/Family or Small Group)
- Enter your payment. (We accept both credit cards and PayPal and your transaction is completely secure.)
Q. When does the Bringing Advent to Life online retreat begin?
We opened enrollment for the retreat earlier this week. But you’re not too late because Advent begins today. The videos for the first week are available to you immediately once you enroll in the retreat.
Q. Do I have to show up live for any part of the retreat?
No, the retreat is entirely online and all the videos are pre-recorded. So they are available for you to watch on-demand (once they are released — see the schedule below). You can watch and re-watch them whenever you’d like. They are available on all your devices and you can even download them to watch offline.
Q. How long is the retreat?
The online retreat lasts for four weeks. Here’s the schedule of when we’ll release the videos for each week:
Week 1 Available Immediately
Week 2 Available Monday, December 4
Week 3 Available Monday, December 11
Week 4 Available Monday, December 18
NOTE: Advent begins on Sunday, December 3 and goes through Sunday, December 24. We release the videos a week in advance of each Sunday in Advent so that you have time to go slowly through each week. This also allows you time to prepare if you are doing the retreat with your family or small group.
Q. How long are the videos each week?
Each week has two videos released on Mondays — a Scripture study video and a Scripture meditation video. Each video is about 15–20 minutes long.
Q. If I’m leading a small group through the retreat, how much time should I plan for each session?
We recommend between 1–1.5 hours. This will give you time to watch both the Scripture study and meditation videos together as well as allow for time to experience the meditation and share as a group.
Q. How long do I have access to the retreat?
You have lifetime access to the retreat materials. That means you can go back and watch the videos from a previous week whenever you would like. Our intention is for you to move slowly and intentionally through the materials. We want you to experience more peace and joy as well as hear God’s voice. So we won’t rush you to finish! Take all the time you need.
Q. Is there a money-back guarantee?
Absolutely. We want you to feel comfortable in your decision to join us — and we want you to LOVE Bringing Advent to Life. So, we’re giving you a 10-day money-back guarantee. You can join the retreat and still have a financial safety net. If you are unsatisfied, contact us in the first 10 days and we will give you a full refund. (Though, I have a feeling you’ll love this retreat once you poke around inside.)
Q. Does this online retreat cover the same material as the Meeting God in Scripture online course?
No. While we do use the same Scripture meditation method that we teaching the Meeting God in Scripture online course, the meditation videos in this retreat are all new content.
Q. Do I need to take the Meeting God in Scripture course first before I do this retreat?
No. If you are new to Scripture meditation, this retreat is a great entry point.
Q. If I’ve already taken the Meeting God in Scripture course, should I do this retreat?
Yes! The Bringing Advent to Life online retreat is a great follow-up to the Meeting God in Scripture course.
