SUMMARY:Online Quiet Day with Christian Retreats
DESCRIPTION:(ONLINE) ‘THE LIVING FLAME OF LOVE’ BY JOHN OF THE CROSS | This text can only be described as ’mind-blowing’\, as it is a startling witness to the immense spiritual depth that can be experienced in a human life.  John of the Cross wonderfully writes down his experiences in this beautiful work\, the words expressing lived glimpses of eternity. It is a celebration of the presence of the divine in human existence and is utterly joyful. This text\, not to be missed\, will be explored on the retreat\, for example\, the compelling\, dynamic image of the ‘flame’\, John’s articulation of life experienced in all its fullness etc etc. \nSunday 12th April 2.30-5pm \n

SUMMARY:Online meditation with the School of Contemplative Life
DESCRIPTION:Meditation in the Christian tradition is an ancient and simple way of prayer. \nOur purpose is to teach meditation as a simple path to peace\, community and oneness. Our vision is to help people establish peace in themselves and become places of peace in the world. \nEach session includes a short talk\, a period of silent meditation practice (preceded by some basic guidelines for anyone who is new)\, and an opportunity for conversation afterwards. \nThe sessions are guided by Chris Whittington. Chris spent a period of formation at Prinknash Abbey Benedictine Monastery and is the Founder of The School of Contemplative Life. \nYou don’t need to bring anything – just yourself. Try to find a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed.

SUMMARY:Crossroads Retreat at the Royal Foundation of St Katharine
DESCRIPTION:Mary Monfries and Chris Blakeley: Crossroads Retreat\n\n10th April 2026 – 11th April 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.

DESCRIPTION:Seasonal Quiet Garden Days\n\n\n8th April \n15th July \n14th October \n2nd December \n\n\n10am to 4pm\n\n\n“If you stand still for a few minutes in the relentless onward rush of 21st century life you might hear a quiet but insistent undercurrent. It is the cry of our hearts for space and time just to be\, to listen to the heartbeat of creation\, to let our souls catch up. Quiet gardens offer just such longed-for oases of peace. They open up once more what all our busy-ness has buried – the precious gift of heart-time and soul-space.” \nMargaret Silf – patron of The Quiet Garden Movement
