Traces in the Sand: Wisdom from the Christian Desert Tradition for a Time of Collapse

Tuesday, November 18th, 2025

5:30 PM - 7:00 PM

Price: Free

Harwood Museum of Art

The earliest desert Christians lived in third and fourth century Egypt, fleeing civilizational turmoil to live close to the land where they could deeply experience their truest selves and God. In this talk, Rachel Wheeler introduces us to the wisdom of this tradition for a time of civilizational turmoil and transition requiring that we, too, recognize our truest selves and the source of the sacred. What is it about deserts that make them uniquely evocative of this kind of work? Sharing stories from the Christian desert tradition, Rachel offers appreciation for the wilderness spirituality implicit in its sayings and stories that can continue to shape our lives.
