SUMMARY:Seasonal Quiet Day at the Bield at Blackruthven
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

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.

It will be led by Revd Cameron Butland\, and is entitled\, ‘Walking into Spirituality’\, based on the theme of his forthcoming book. He will be reflecting on the encounters with God that are experienced in our life journeys. \nCameron writes\, ‘Beginning with the stories of Jesus  in the Gospels\, together with the experience of Christians such as St Helena\, St Cuthbert\, St Francis\, George Fox\, John Wesley and contemporary teachers\, we will explore the way in which we can come to discern the Holy Spirit in thin places and in the people we meet.’ \nThe retreat will cost £350 per person (for APR members and for all bookings made before 1st May). Overnight accommodation is in single or twin rooms\, many of which are en-suite; these will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis. \n  \nBook your place now on https://promotingretreats.org/news-events-blog/ \n

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
