*** FULLY BOOKED ***

Led by Jill Benet

The Christian experience of awakening and unity consciousness is a true Oneness that involves the full participation of our humanity, body, soul, and spirit. Centering Prayer is our core daily practice and becomes a way of life when we practise it alongside Lectio Divina and the inner process of acceptance, bringing us fully into contact with ourselves, the world around us and the divine source that unites all.

This retreat is suitable for those familiar with Centering Prayer and who wish to explore Lectio Divina and our receptivity and acceptance to those parts we often reject.

Arrive in time for supper at 6pm on Sunday and depart by 4pm on Friday.

Cost: £450
