Attending to True Self

You formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb…I am fearfully and wonderfully made…my soul knows that very well.

-          Psalm 139 v13-14

A weekend retreat that will provide an opportunity to slow down, step back from everyday life and reconnect with ourselves at a deeper level. We will focus on listening inwardly to our true selves and expressing ourselves outwardly within a Circle of Trust®.

The weekend will draw on practices developed and shared by the American educator and retreat leader Parker J Palmer. There will be opportunities for quiet reflection, creative response and sharing in small groups.

This retreat may not be suitable for anyone currently experiencing significant turmoil or trauma. Please speak to the Chaplain, Alison Richards, if you would like to explore if this is right for you.

A simple lunch and refreshments throughout the two days will be included.

£50.

9.30am-4pm Saturday 10th May

10am – 4pm Sunday 11th May

Participants are very welcome to join Space to Be in the Chapel from 8.30am on Sunday morning.
