Textiles Retreat: God Is Revealed – Through Strangers, Signs, and Sacraments ***FULLY BOOKED***

£592

Join us at Launde Abbey for a creative and reflective retreat exploring the theme of God revealed – through strangers, signs, and sacraments. Together we’ll reflect on the season of Epiphany, finishing with the Presentation of Christ in the Temple. Our stitching will take inspiration from these ideas – perhaps stars, water, wine or camels.

This is a relaxing time of sewing, short talks, prayer and poetry, with space to think and create in a peaceful and friendly setting.

All are welcome, whatever your sewing skill level. You are also welcome to bring your own project to work on. (Please note: sewing machines should have been PAT tested within the last three years.)

Claire is an experienced parish priest and retreat leader who has been leading retreats at Launde Abbey for many years. Claire was also one of the team offering Spiritual Direction (Spiritual Accompaniment) and Mentoring in Southwell & Nottingham Diocese. She has been sewing ever since she can remember – she had her first sewing machine age 9 years and has recently studied for a City and Guilds Patchwork and Quilting Certificate.
