Led by Maria Manuela Silva

You are invited to set aside a day to reflect, with the help of Henri Nouwen, on what it means to live a life in the Spirit of Jesus Christ.  Authentic Christian spirituality, he writes, is a reaching out to our innermost self, to our fellow human beings and to our God, expressed and experienced as three spiritual movements: from destructive loneliness to creative solitude, from fearful hostility to welcoming hospitality and from self-deception to self-surrender to God in prayer. 

Starts at 10am and finishes at 4pm. Please bring a packed lunch.

This retreat is available to attend online via Zoom and in-person.

Cost: £30
