Forming Communities of Hope in the Great Unravelling (Nether Springs)
A retreat led by Roy Searle and based on the book that he has written with his friend the Canadian missiologist Alan Roxburgh that explores where we find ourselves in a changing world. We will look at the narrative of hope that is found in the Scriptures, and the lives of the Celtic Saints and Benedictine communities and how we embrace the practices of dwelling, discerning and exploring in loving God and seeing the kingdom here on earth in our neighbourhoods and in the formation of communities of hope.

Individually Guided Retreat: Entering the Silence (Nether Springs)
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 a companion on the journey from whom they can receive individual support and guidance. Apart from the session of spiritual accompaniment each morning, we will seek God in silence.
