SUMMARY:APR Spring Retreat at Holland House
DESCRIPTION:The APR Spring retreat will be held at Holland House\, Cropthorne\, from 16-18 April 2027. It is entitled ‘Evolving Spirituality for the 21st Century’\, and will be led Diarmuid O’Murchu. Diarmuid is a social scientist\, writer and retired missionary\, much of whose life has been devoted to Adult Faith Development across several countries. He has published many books\, including Divine Radiance in Human Evolution (2025) and Ecological Spirituality (2024). You can find out more about him on diarmuidomurchu.com. \nAbout the retreat\, Diarmuid writes: ‘Across the contemporary world we are witnessing a crisis of religious belief\, vacillating between fundamentalism and agnosticism. Over the past 50 years\, an alternative spiritual consciousness has been evolving\, with a vibrancy and creative potential that makes a great deal more sense; this retreat will explore its cultural and religious significance.’ \nHolland House is a comfortable retreat house in Worcestershire\, with excellent food and a beautiful garden. Many of their bedrooms are en-suite; these will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis. The retreat will cost £340 per person (for APR members\, and all bookings made before 1 December)\, and £350 for non-members thereafter; this includes all your meals. \nYou can book online (and pay via Paypal) on promotingretreats.org/APR-Spring-Retreat \nor please contact the APR Administrator directly on 01395 272243\, or by email on promoting.retreats@gmail.com
