Led by Jill Benet

An invitation to join a small community and immerse yourself fully into the practice of Centering Prayer and its background as taught by Contemplative Outreach.  

There will be up to 3 hours of Centering Prayer each day, and the time outside meetings is mainly held in silence. The rhythm of the day will include personal reflection, some activity, contemplative liturgy and Lectio Divina.  

We shall draw on the teachings of Fr Thomas Keating and Cynthia Bourgeault as well as opening to our inner promptings. The retreat is suitable for those who have established or are establishing the practice of Centering Prayer. It would be helpful to have attended an introduction to Centering Prayer course or be familiar with the method of Centering Prayer.

Arrive in time for supper at 6pm on 2/2 and depart after breakfast on 9/2.

Ensuite: £765

Standard: £700
