Quiet Day at St Katharine’s Parmoor
1 February @ 09:30 - 16:00
Walking Through Winter with Katherine Gantlett
St Katharine’s Retreat House, Parmoor. RG9 6NNJust as winter comes each year, we will all encounter spiritual winters of loss. These seasons come with so many questions. Who is God? How is God at work in this season? Who am I? What’s the meaning and purpose of life?
For many of us we find ourselves enduring winter seasons, desperately looking for any sign of spring, or trying to force spring ourselves. But if we can embrace winter and ‘get out into it’, we will discover there is real beauty to be found even in the bleakest of winters.
Join us for a day of reflection on the winter seasons of our lives. Together we will explore how, spiritual practices such as lament, community, and the examen can help us ‘brave the elements’ of winter to authentically journey with God, through the depths of winter, experiencing the warmth of His loving presence, whilst holding on to the promise that spring will come.
Weather dependent, this day will include sometime outside, so please come prepared, as has been famously said, ‘there is no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing!’
