SUMMARY:Trees of life retreat at Hilfield Friary
DESCRIPTION:A creative workshop exploring the symbolism of trees in the Bible and what it means to be rooted in Christ. Taking inspiration from the glorious setting of Hilfield and some of the Romola’s own work\, the retreat will use a variety of media for creative expression and exploration of faith. The emphasis is on a contemplative approach to creativity\, and on the process of making rather than a finished product. Do not be put off if you don’t consider yourself to be a ‘creative’ person! All that is needed is openheartedness and a willingness to experiment a little! Basic materials will be provided\, but you are welcome to bring your own to use\, swap or share! \nRev. Dr Romola Parish is a former academic specialising in environmental change in mountains and deserts\, and a former environmental lawyer. She trained in traditional hand embroidery at the Royal School of Needlework and studied poetry at Oxford and Cardiff. She is now a non-stipendiary priest in the Church in Wales and holds exhibitions and runs creative retreats and workshops all over the UK. She is also a spiritual director in the Diocese of St Davids. \nThe suggested donation for the weekend is £160 to include all food and accommodation. \n\n\n\n\nPlease contact Suzi to check availability and avoid disappointment before registering for the weekend. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Autumn IGR retreat at the House of the Resurrection\, Mirfield
DESCRIPTION:Our IGRs are Ignatian-style retreats. There are no addresses as in preached or themed retreats. Rather\, each person with the help of an experienced guide follows their own path as it seems God is leading them. The emphasis is on integrating body\, mind and heart in faith. \nThe pattern of the week is: \nSunday 25th October: arrive during the afternoon in time for Evensong (6.00 pm) This is followed by an informal supper with the Community and afterwards an introductory meeting with the whole group. \nMonday to Saturday: silence is kept. Each retreatant sees one of the guides each day to talk over the previous day’s prayers and gain a sense of direction for the day to come. Other set moments each day the daily Eucharist; times of silent prayer together in the evening (details will be given on the first evening if is happening); and three meals. Apart from these\, there is no other commitment.  No books that must be read\, letters written\, or chores that must be done. There is time simply to pray\, think\, mull over the words of scripture … to do nothing or to do something that helps to clear space for God.  Many people find it helpful to paint\, draw and go for walks – we pray as we are\, not overlooking our imaginations\, our bodies\, our memories\, hopes and fears. \nSaturday evening: There is usually an informal (optional) social gathering to ease out of the silence. \nSunday 1st November: Mattins\, Mass\, breakfast and depart (c. 10.00 am) \nAs you approach the week\, you might be wondering what it will be like.  Inspiring? Challenging?  Restful?  Liberating?   Life-changing?  You might find it any or all of these\, but those who have prayed in this way know without doubt that they have spent a week in God’s company. And that our God is\, as Gerard Hughes says\, a ‘God of surprises’. \nCost: £637 in a standard Retreat House room with shared bathrooms; £723.50 in an en-suite room.

SUMMARY:Icon retreat at St Columba's House
DESCRIPTION:October 30\, 2026 @ 4:30 pm – November 1\, 2026 @ 1:45 pm\nContemporary Icon Residential Workshop with Renowned Artist Sophie Hacker\nMaybury Hill\, Woking\, GU22 8AB\n\n\n\n\nA two-day ‘contemporary Icon workshop’. Includes accommodation and meals. \n\nWe begin by exploring the tradition of icon “writing” and how icons serve as windows onto eternity. Participants are invited to bring a personal or global concern to offer to God. In the second part of our time together\, each person will explore their concern and develop a visual language to express it through their own icon. Icons may be completed during the workshop or finished later and participants may choose to have their work exhibited in the House until mid-December. All materials included. \nN.B: This is a residential only workshop and includes all meals for the duration\, plus complementary tea and coffee. Guest numbers are extremely limited for this workshop. \nLed by: Sophie Hacker

SUMMARY:Crossroads retreat at the Royal Foundation of St Katharine
DESCRIPTION:Mary Monfries and Chris Blakeley: Crossroads Retreat\n\n6th November 2026 – 7th November 2026\n\n\n“Stand at the crossroads and look. Look for the ancient paths. Ask where the good way is and walk in it and you will find rest for your soul.” \nRun over 2 days for small groups of up to 8 people and facilitated by 2 experienced coaches\, this retreat provides a unique space for people at a crossroads in life to pause\, step back and reflect on where they are\, the questions they find themselves in\, what they really want and how to take steps forward. The crossroads could be vocational\, such as a career change\, or relational\, such as divorce or separation. It could be a significant interruption in life from a change of circumstances or health\, or simply a sense of wanting something different from life.
