Celtic Christianity retreat with Christian Retreats
11 November @ 14:00 - 15 November @ 15:00
In beautiful countryside is Parcevall Hall. They say on their website that many have: ‘come here to experience peace and tranquillity since the hall opened as a retreat house in 1963’. Parcevall Hall is a unique and special place with lovely gardens, an outdoor terrace, a chapel, comfortable bedrooms etc. This retreat focuses on 3 inspirational women from Celtic Christianity: Saint Brigid of Kildare, St Hild of Whitby and St Ia of Cornwall. We will explore the intriguing symbolism of Saint Brigid’s fire and cloak. St Hild’s banishment of harmful snakes will offer us a space to face our fears. St Ia’s wonderful ocean journey in a leaf-coracle will help us to creatively explore a journey of surrender, solitude and the wild elemental sea, wind and sky… Our time of retreat will include a rhythm of prayer, retreat sessions, spiritual reflection, time to be creative and relax. The retreat is an opportunity to explore Christian spirituality in a creative and prayerful way. The cost (on request) includes all retreat sessions, an optional spiritual direction session, accommodation and 3 meals a day (vegetarian food). Retreatants stay in the main hall.
