Ampleforth Abbey
Ampleforth Abbey, York, YO62 4EN (UK)
Step out and away from your Christmas preparations and warm the straw in readiness for the Incarnation; to “wonder” with Mary; to accompany Mary and Joseph on their fractured journey to Bethlehem, to meet yourself in shepherd or innkeeper, and to learn to stoop at the entrance to the stable. You are invited to ”come as you are”.
Alongside this exploration, retreatants will have the opportunity to join the Monastic Community for its daily cycle of prayer, Mass, and sessions led by monks, with ample time for personal reflection, prayer, or exploring the beautiful surroundings of Ampleforth Abbey.
This guided retreat includes full board and light refreshments.
