SUMMARY:Quiet Day at the House of Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Living from the Heart: Praying with Edith Stein\n\nSaturday 31 October 2026\n10:00  16:00\nThe House of Prayer (map)\n\n\nLed by Kerryn Penson  \nJoin us as we explore the life and writings of the German-Jewish philosopher\, Carmelite nun and saint\, Edith Stein (St. Theresia Benedicta a Cruce)\, and her relevance for our prayer and spirituality today. \nEdith wrote profoundly on the nature of the spiritual life\, inspired by Christian mystics such as Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross\, her distinctive philosophy\, and the state of degeneration she witnessed creeping across Europe during the Second World War. Through times of input\, sharing\, and reflection\, we will explore Edith’s understanding of our relationship with God\, her emphasis on deep listening and contemplation\, and her ethical approach to discernment and desire which sought truth and freedom. \nEdith Stein speaks directly to the modern challenge of living through\, and encountering God in\, times of change\, crisis\, uncertainty and suffering. For Stein\, the more deeply we are drawn into God\, the more we must go out of our ourselves to carry the divine life into the world around us. \nStarts at 10am and finishes at 4pm. Please bring a packed lunch.

SUMMARY:Quiet Day at the Royal Foundation of St Katharine
DESCRIPTION:‘Joining God’s Repair Shop’ a Quiet Day ~ with Brother Sam\n\n7th November 2026\, 10:15 – 16:00\n\n\nCome to spend a day at this urban oasis of the Royal Foundation of St Katharine. \nThis special day will be led by Brother Samuel \nJoining God’s Repair Shop\n‘Kneeling before a large crucifix in the ruined church of St Damian outside the walls of Assisi\, the young Francis\, seeking the Lord’s will\, heard the words: “Repair my house\, which you see is in ruins”. Setting about the task with a few companions who became the nucleus of his brotherhood\, the work in the years ahead grew wider and deeper. It involved the repair of relationships within the Lord’s family\, within and between communities in conflict\, and with those considered enemies or outcast. \nFor Francis\, Christ’s gentle repair extended even to the family of creation. On this Quiet Day we’ll be reflecting on how\, by becoming artisans in the Lord’s “Repair Shop”\, we may ourselves be restored\, renewed and transformed.’

SUMMARY:Online Lords Prayer Course at the House of Prayer
DESCRIPTION:‘Lord\, teach us to pray’\n\nTuesday 27 October 2026\n19:00  20:15\nThe House of Prayer (map)\n\n\nLed by Audrey Hamilton \nSeven week course on prayer\, beginning on Tuesday 27 October November on Zoom\, 7pm – 8.15pm \nPrayer is at the heart of any relationship with God\, and this plea from the disciples to Jesus is the universal plea of all who long to draw closer to God.  And yet God is already closer to us than we can ever imagine.  Prayer helps us realise that.  Our short course will look at different ways of praying\, with emphasis on the relationship with God that they foster rather than as techniques to be mastered. \nThemes will include the Lord’s Prayer\, that response of Jesus to the disciples’ request\, along with Lectio Divina/Sacred Reading\, Imaginative Prayer\, Praying with Art and Centering Prayer.  Sessions will consist of input on the particular theme of the evening\, with times of silence followed by a plenary session as we grow together into a praying community.  Additional material will also be offered at the end of each session should people wish to go deeper in their own prayer time during the subsequent week. \nWhether you are ‘new’ to prayer – and in a sense we all begin again each day – or have been praying for a long time and are seeking some additional inspiration\, we hope this course has something for you.  A commitment to attend all seven sessions if possible would be helpful. \nThe course will meet on Zoom on the following Tuesdays: \n\n\nTuesday 27 October\, 7pm – 8.15pm \n\n\nTuesday 3 November\, 7pm – 8.15pm \n\n\nTuesday 10 November\, 7pm – 8.15pm \n\n\nTuesday 17 November\, 7pm – 8.15pm \n\n\nTuesday 24 November\, 7pm – 8.15pm \n\n\nTuesday 1 December\, 7pm – 8.15pm \n\n\nTuesday 8 December\, 7pm – 8.15pm \n\n\nCost: £55

SUMMARY:Quiet Day at Rydal Hall
DESCRIPTION:Advent Quiet Day\n\n\n\nNovember 20\, 2026\n\n\n\n\n10:00 am\n4:00 pm\n\n\n\n\n\n£20\n\n\n\n\nThis special day during Advent will be using the O Antiphons to help us enter a time of contemplation. \nThese special verses dating back to the 6th century are normally used on the last seven days of Advent in Western Christianity and have become a key part of choral music in the days leading up to Christmas. Many of us have been introduced to them in some form in the hymn O Come O Come Emmanuel. \nUsing art\, music and poetry we will be using these scriptural verses to help us express our longing for the Christ Child and to pray for the transformation we want him to create both in ourselves and the world. \nLisa Moore Wilson\, Minister for the United Reformed Church will be leading the day. Her particular areas of interest are showing God’s love through community projects and hospitality and – helping others to find the still small voice of God in a busy world through meditation\, retreats and contemplative prayer.

SUMMARY:Quiet Day at the Royal Foundation of St Katharine
DESCRIPTION:Agony in the Garden: Art and Faith from Eden to Gethsemane\n\n21st November 2026\, 10:15 – 16:00\n\n\nIn conjunction with St Pauls Cathedral a retreat day with Debbie Lewer. \nIn conjunction with St Pauls Cathedral a retreat day with Debbie Lewer \nAgony in the Garden: Art and Faith from Eden to Gethsemane\nOver centuries\, artists of all kinds have vividly imagined gardens as places of abundance and desolation\, as the settings for temptation and transformation and as the stage for human and holy drama. This retreat day is a chance to explore gardens real and imagined in visual art from these perspectives. We will look at gardens designed and made by artists\, and as they appear in paintings\, prints\, drawings\, photographs and more. Drawing on imagery from Eden to Gethsemane and beyond\, we will reflect especially on the theological significance of these green spaces\, sites of solace\, turmoil and life-changing encounter.
