03-06 Mon—Thur          ADVENT PREPARATIONS                          £165
As we enter the busy seasons of Advent and Christmas, this retreat offers the opportunity to prepare for the weeks ahead, to separate the trivial from the significant, and to consider again the meaning, relevance and wonder of the Incarnation of Christ. Through conversation, reflection, and practical workshops, we’ll prepare to welcome Christ into our homes and lives.
 
07-09 Fri—Sun      FOR WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS, THERE YOUR HEART WILL BE ALSO              £120
This retreat will focus on trust as a key aspect of our faith journeys.  We’ll be using a creative project to help us consider what trust means for us and in what/whom we put our trust.  So, the retreat will combine times of led reflection, creative exploration, and time alone with God.
 
10-13 Mon—Thur        ENTERING THE SILENCE: Individually-Guided Retreat           £165
Let me rest in Your will and be silent. Then the light of Your joy will warm my life. Its fire will burn in my heart and shine for Your glory.   This is what I live for. Amen, Amen.   ~ Thomas Merton
 
This silent retreat is a time to seek God in the cell of your own heart, in a community of fellow seekers. Each retreatant will be paired with companion on the journey from whom to receive individual support and guidance.
 
14-16 Fri—Sun       BE STILL AND KNOW                 £100
