Led by Jacqueline Evans

You are—we all are—the beloved of the Beloved, and in every moment, in every event of your life, the Beloved is whispering to you exactly what you need to hear and know. …Listen and your whole life will become a conversation in thought and act between you and Him, directly, wordlessly, now and always. 

                                                                                                                   - Rumi

On this retreat we will be using the principles of Alexander Technique to explore ways of becoming more present to this conversation.  Busyness, resistance, clinging and fears manifest as tension in the body and are obstacles to presence. We will be discovering how to release the tension and to inhabit our bodies more fully, loosening the hold of these obstacles that prevent us from hearing the promptings of love and truth in our hearts. During this retreat there will be extended periods of Centering Prayer twice a day, and plenty of time for silent reflection between teaching sessions.

Arrive in time for supper at 7pm and depart by 4pm on Sunday.

Cost:

En-suite: £220

Standard: £200

Jacqueline is a teacher of Alexander Technique who facilitates retreats and workshops, and trains teachers of the Technique, alongside running a private practice. She is a practitioner of Centering Prayer and sees a deep connection between these two practices. Jacqueline works with meditators to help them discover the fullness of an inclusive release of body-mind-spirit, in life as well as in prayer, so that more and more our whole lives may become unceasing prayer.
