SUMMARY:Be Joyful. Keep the Faith. Do the Little Things
DESCRIPTION:BOOK NOW\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn a world that can be anxious\, abounding in distraction\, and where the only thing that seems to matter is extraordinary achievement\, Christians are called back to a simple but powerful way of living. \n\n\n\nJoin Catherine Williams in a quiet\, spacious retreat shaped around St David’s famous words. St David doesn’t offer complicated strategies\, grand plans\, or even great vision.

SUMMARY:Beyond Certainty: Reimagining our images of God
DESCRIPTION:BOOK NOW\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat happens when the God you once believed in no longer fits? What if letting go of old certainties could open up new ways of encountering the Divine? \n\n\n\nSometimes the images of God we inherit become too small\, inadequate or even harmful as we move through life. As our faith shifts\, we can find ourselves somewhere between the certainty we have left behind and a new understanding we haven’t yet found. This retreat offers a safe and spacious place to explore that uncertainty\, to question\, wonder\, grieve what has been lost and become curious about what might be emerging. We’ll explore how we might reimagine God beyond the certainties and concepts that no longer fit\, and discover language\, practices and ways of seeing that can help us live more openly with mystery. \n\n\n\nThere will be plenty of space to talk honestly with others who are also navigating a changing faith\, as well as time for silence\, solitude\, meditation\, journalling\, creative reflection and wandering in nature. We’ll pay attention not only to what we think and believe\, but also to what we experience – to the soul\, to the places where we feel most alive and to the ways nature and the world around us might speak of something more. You don’t need to have your faith figured out\, you don’t need to arrive with answers and we don’t all need to be going to the same places. Questions\, doubts\, difference and uncertainty are welcome. Come as you are\, with curiosity\, courage and an open heart\, see what might unfold when you give yourself permission to move beyond certainty. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnna Robinson is a contemplative\, facilitator and founder of LiveLight|DwellDeep\, where she creates safe and spacious places for people navigating changing faith and spirituality. Living in Cornwall\, her work is rooted in the mystical and Celtic Christian traditions\, while remaining open to wisdom and insight beyond the tradition she inherited. She is particularly interested in what becomes possible when inherited certainties fall away and we become more attentive to mystery\, experience\, nature and the wisdom of the soul. \n\n\n\nAt the heart of Anna’s work is a desire to help people find a spirituality centred not on certainty\, but on love and a faith that feels honest\, alive and true to who they are now. She is a co-host of the Nomad podcast and leads Faith Shift groups and contemplative retreats for curious and questioning people. \n\n\n\nEARLY BIRD RATE: £474 (standard room) or £519 (character room) if booked by 29th December 2026!Retreat price: £504 (standard room) or £549 (character room) \n\n\n\nPrice includes en-suite accommodation\, all meals\, and all retreat resources.
