SUMMARY:Birdwatching retreat with Even Sparrows
DESCRIPTION:LOOK AT THE BIRDS on Holy Island\n\nDate: Fri\, 4th Sep 2026 16:00 \nOur September 2026 retreat on Holy Island is timed for early autumn migration. It can offer ‘the best of both worlds’ when summer visitors can still be seen as they head south\, coinciding with the arrival of the first winter visitors. Departing birds like Pied Flycatcher\, Redstart and Whinchat can be seen on the island\, plus more unusual birds like Wryneck\, Icterine Warbler and Red-breasted Flycatcher if the winds swing easterly. At the same time\, the first of the winter visitors start appearing from the Arctic with birds like the Brent Geese\, Knot and Bar-tailed Godwit. September is typically the best month for passage waders and we would hope to see birds like Curlew Sandpiper\, Little Stint and Greenshank. \nThe all-inclusive price is 535 pounds per person which includes 3 nights full board\, accommodation and retreat fees. People willing to share a twin room are each entitled to sixty pounds discount. You will be staying on the island itself at Marygate House – a very comfortable Georgian house with twin bedded rooms that share bathrooms and toilets. The food is home-made and consistently praised for its good quality. We will have exclusive use of the house and its facilities which includes its impressive library about Celtic Christianity. \nIn order to book your room\, please firstly contact me about availability. You will need to send a deposit of 175 pounds which is returnable until 6 weeks before when the balance is due. 50% is refundable up until 4 weeks before\, and 25% refundable until 2 weeks to go.

SUMMARY:IGR at Abernethy Kilmalieu
DESCRIPTION:‘Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray’ (Luke 5:16). This is an opportunity to do just that. An individually guided retreat at Kilmalieu involves stepping away from the noise of a busy world to focus on our relationship with God. Participants are invited to join in the daily rhythm of prayer with the Kilmalieu Team and are offered opportunities for guidance\, spiritual accompaniment and/or coaching. In addition\, there is lots of time and space to pray\, reflect and enjoy the rugged beauty of the mountains\, the coastline and the woodlands that characterise the Kilmalieu estate.   \nThis retreat can be booked for either 3 or 4 nights. The retreat is fully catered\, starting with dinner after arrival on Friday and ending with breakfast before you leave on day of departure. Food is home-made and consistently praised for its quality. Guests have access to a small library\, art room\, lounge\, chapel and gym and are free to explore the 3000 acre estate\, where otters\, seals\, a diverse range of trees and birds\, lichens\, ferns and many other aspects of nature can be enjoyed.

SUMMARY:Creative expressions course at Sarum College
DESCRIPTION:Inspiration & Imagination: Creative Expressions of the Spiritual Life course\n\nThis module considers the interactions between creativity\, the arts and the imagination with theology and spirituality. Through considering a range of modes of creative expression (visual art\, poetry\, popular music) and a range of themes (making\, mysticism\, language)\, we examine how a spiritual life can both be fostered by creating art and our interactions with art\, as well as how spirituality is often inspired by artworks.
