SUMMARY:Introduction to Silence retreat at Abernethy Kilmalieu
DESCRIPTION:Christian teachers throughout history have emphasised the value of silence in going deeper with God and discerning His voice. But many of us are strangers to silence. Our homes and workplaces are filled with chatter\, human and electronic. We fill what silence there is with online\, radio and TV babble. \nSilence is a precious gift\, a background that brings the divine voice into the foreground – and Kilmalieu offers silence in abundance. Not total silence of course … the sound of birdsong and running water are always there … but the kind of fertile quietness that enables a ‘still small voice’ (1 Kings 19:12) to be heard. \nOn this retreat you will explore silence gently\, with the support of others and an experienced guide. There will be times of solitude and silence\, but also times of encouraging fellowship with others. You will be invited to join the community at Kilmalieu in the daily rhythm of prayers and you will be offered a variety of ways to engage with the nature of the hills\, coastline and woodland that surround Kilmalieu or use the facilities of the art room or meditate on scripture.

SUMMARY:Psalms retreat at Ballyvaloo Retreat Centre
DESCRIPTION:August 8th\, 2026 – 14th\, 2026 \nPrayers for all Seasons: A journey with the Psalms – Dr. Jessie Rogers\nSilent Retreat\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Psalms invite us to bring our whole selves before God – our joys\, sorrows\, struggles\, and hopes. These ancient songs give voice to every dimension of human experience\, helping us to live not only the length of our days\, but their depth and breadth as well.\nMass is celebrated on 5 of the 6 days. A Liturgy of the Word with Communion will be celebrated on one day\, usually Monday. \n\nAfter graduating from the University of Stellenbosch\, Dr Rogers came to Ireland in 2007 to teach in Mary Immaculate College in Limerick before joining the faculty of theology at St Patrick’s College Maynooth in 2014. \nHer academic work has focused on biblical wisdom literature and\, in recent years\, broadened to include spirituality and a focus on the theology of childhood. \nDr Rogers is a member of the Irish Biblical Association\, the South African Society for Near Eastern Studies\, the European Society for Catholic Theology\, and the Godly Play International College of Trainers.

SUMMARY:Summer 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. Each IGR is led by a CR brother\, together with two or three other trained accompaniers. \nThe pattern of the week is: \nSunday 9th August: 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 16th August: 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.
