SUMMARY:Mindfulness Retreat
DESCRIPTION:book now\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDo you find prayer & stillness are filled with distractions and difficulty in focusing? In this retreat\, we explore the foundations of mindfulness\, as taught in secular mindfulness courses\, and we discover how these can support our prayer life\, attentiveness and stillness and help us make space for God. We will be focusing on Scripture and its wisdom about prayer and stillness and exploring the connections with mindfulness practices.

SUMMARY:Contemplative Photography Retreat: The Space Between 間
DESCRIPTION:book now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is a Photography and Spirituality retreat based around the premise that the photographer’s stance is a way of slowing down and being attentive to the world (as God’s sacred text) around and God’s presence and proclamation within it. We will be using themes from the Old Testament book of Song of Songs\, and Ignatian spiritual practices. There will also be an opportunity to explore poetry alongside photography. Cameras or camera phones will be useful\, but not essential. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMorna is Vicar of Finedon and Assistant Vocations Officer in the Diocese of Peterborough. She has significant experience in teaching and facilitating learning\, as well as leading retreats\, and is currently training to be a Spiritual Director. Morna has a keen interest in Contemplative Spirituality and\, having completed a research project which explored the use of photography as prayer which is missional\, she has developed a number of spiritual photographical practices based around Ignatian Spirituality. \n\n\n\nRetreat price: £495 (standard room) or £540 (character room)EARLY BIRD RATE: £465 (standard room) or £510 (character room) if booked by 13th May 2025!Price includes en-suite accommodation\, all meals\, and all retreat resources.It may be possible for you to extend your stay with us by adding an extra night before or after this retreat.
