SUMMARY:Online Quiet Day with Christian Retreats
DESCRIPTION:(ONLINE) BE STILL & KNOW THAT I AM GOD | Sometimes we are invited to move into this quiet prayer and just ‘be’. Holding this peaceful retreat\, will be space to simply rest in God. Alongside this\, respecting the Christian call for radical self-awareness\, we will focus on ‘Give careful thought to all your ways’ (Haggai 1:7); in the stillness\, we’ll seek to really try and ‘see’ personal\, negative ways that require transformation. Inspirational art (a sculpture\, a painting and modern images of the stations of the cross) will be a key focus of reflection on the gentle\, patient\, healing Christ who knows our difficult ways and offers us His Way of freedom\, resurrection and light.  Tuesday 5th May 11am – 1pm \n

SUMMARY:APR Online quiet day for Carers
DESCRIPTION:Join APR’s first (free) Online Quiet Day\, which will run from 10.15am – 3.30pm on Thursday 9 July\, and will  be  led  by  Revd  Alison Christian. Although it is primarily designed for Carers (of which Alison has recently become one)\, the event is open to everyone and promises to offer refreshment for us all. \nAlison writes\, ‘Whether we have become a Carer unexpectedly after a loved one has a sudden life-changing illness or accident\, or whether the situation has developed more slowly\, new Carers have to learn to adapt to a new (and evolving) landscape\, physically\, emotionally\, psychologically and spiritually\, often without the resources that have      supported them before\, such as going on retreat. \nDuring the day we will ask\, ‘What difference is this experience of being a Carer making to my relationship with God – and with myself?’ Realising that we are all in different  situations\, with different     demands being made on us\, we understand that you may need to dip in and out of the day; the prayer and meditation ideas will be available on our website after the day for you to come back to. \nBook your place now on https://promotingretreats.org/news-events-blog/ \n
