Intensive retreats are an opportunity to deepen the practice of Centering Prayer in a small community committed to Silence and Solitude. There will be extended periods of Centering Prayer and the time outside meetings will be in silence with ample time for personal reflection. We shall draw on the teaching of Fr Thomas Keating, Lectio Divina and Contemplative Liturgy.
The retreat is suitable for those who have established or are establishing the practice of Centering Prayer and have ideally attended an introductory workshop.
Arrive in time for supper at 6pm on Sunday 27 October and depart after breakfast on Sunday 3 November
Cost:
En-suite: £730
