Led by Jill Benet

Drawing on the work of Thomas Keating OCSO, Trappist monk and founder of the Centering Prayer movement, and the work of Rev Dr Cynthia Bourgeault, wisdom teacher and hermit, we shall consider whether there is more than meets the eye in the obstacles we encounter in our contemplative prayer practice.

Arrive in time for supper at 6pm on Tuesday and leave by 4pm on Thursday.

Cost: £180
