My question is whether Sylvie has any particular suggestions for introducing Advent traditions to younger children (specifically thinking about my four-year-old grandson here).
I'd love to know her top tips for entering into the work of sacred imagination that she seems to do in her book amidst the busyness of the Advent season!
What are your feelings on “la petit mort” in relation to Advent ? What is something that studying about advent helped you understand life or come to terms with something about yourself?
What a wonderful book and focus. I'd like to ask Sylvie how to find ways to incorporate mini pieces of her book into life with two full time jobs and parenting elementary children. Thank you!
Thank you for introducing us to Sylvie and her beautiful work. I might be purchasing BOTH of her books--I am especially intrigued with the entire year living the seasons book.... So needed in our hurry up culture!
Hello Kristen. I am excited to read this book. I would like to ask Sylvie if she incorporates the O Antiphons into her Advent prayers. I am always looking for ways to highlight them besides singing o Come O Come Emmanuel and praying them.
How lovely! I would ask about living into advent in America- where Christmas chaos seems to start earlier and earlier- without just isolating for 2 months?
Oh wow, this sounds like a beautiful book and resource to learn from.
My question is this: having been born and raised in America, and being from a family that doesn’t carry any particular traditions from their ethnic heritage past, would it be okay, respectful even, to pick up traditions from other cultures that I love and respect and make them my own? I’d love to pass down traditions to my children, but I don’t have many.
Our family enjoys collecting Advent and Lenten reads, adding one new book each year (alternating). It's so sweet to enjoy the older kids sharing their memories with the younger ones as we circle back time and again. My question: is there one, simple piece/aspect of it all that rings true despite geographic locale, current life challenges, and other changing variables?
Thank you for this beautiful addition to home libraries and families everywhere. 🕯️🍊🌰🌟
ahhh I just love everything I learn about Sylvie from your posts! Tragically this is scheduled exactly during a Very Important Small Person's 3rd birthday party so I will be missing the live event. But my question would be – how do we balance the Advent-ide-ness of, really, the entire Christian journey with the whiplash of, well, life? Tips for sitting in anticipation, when you feel like you're being thrown from "it's finally happening" to "when will my ship come in," essentially?
Are there new traditions you’ve found in the states that enhance your experience of Advent?

My question is whether this is more of an individual study or would it be great for a group? Thank you!

Do you have a favorite Advent hymn from Provence?

This looks gorgeous! A question: what is one advent/Christmas tradition from Provence that you still keep (beyond the creche!)?
