SUMMARY:Celtic Wisdom retreat at Abernethy Kilmalieu
DESCRIPTION:We live in challenging times. The church has moved from being central within our communities and national life to the edge. As Christians we sometimes feel like strangers in unfamiliar territory. But this is not the first time the church has been through this kind of experience. It can be seen in the life of God’s people in the scriptures and throughout church history. In this retreat\, we will dig into the rich legacy of the Celtic Saints and find insights and wisdom for the present day. \nWhen the Celtic Saints came to Scotland’s shores\, they carried with them a culture of mission and innovation as a ‘Way of Life’. They were rooted in rhythms of prayer\, had a deep reverence for scripture and a profound compassion for others. They worked in teams and lived and communicated the gospel in ways that connected with the pagan peoples they encountered. During this retreat we will learn about the lives of Celtic saints and what we might learn from their ways of mission for our own day. \nThe retreat will be led by Scott Brennan\, an experienced church planter and leader who has found his personal faith and mission to be enriched and expanded by learning from our Celtic predecessors.

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:Birdwatching retreat at Abernethy Kilmalieu
DESCRIPTION:Jesus told his followers to ‘look at the birds of the air’ and at Kilmalieu we are blessed with a remarkable range of birds. From tiny goldcrests to majestic golden and white-tailed eagles … there is a rich variety of mountain\, moorland\, woodland and shoreline birds to see\, hear\, enjoy and learn from. \nDuring the retreat we will enjoy times of contemplative Christian worship\, guided birdwatching walks and reflections on some of the birds featured in the Bible. For those who are interested\, Dale will provide guidance and tips for wildlife photography along the way – and will do this in a way that will add to the retreat for all. \nThe guided birdwatching walks are suitable for complete beginners\, but there will also be plenty to interest experienced birders too.
