We invite you to find a few moments each day to pause, settle in, and reflect with this online retreat based on Gabriel García Márquez’s folktale, A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings. The story, revealed in three parts week-by-week, is full of poignant truths and unexpected magic, defining characteristics of Marquez’s beloved literary style of magical realism. In its mystery, we hope that you will find wonder, insight, and creative energy.
