The word “Photography” literally means drawing with light (Greek phos light graphein to draw or write). The relationship of photography to Truth is under more strain than ever before with the emergence of “deep fake” and AI images.  \n\n\n\nTruth and Light are definitive expressions of the life of God in Jesus. We will use exercises in taking and examining photographs\, worship\, prayer and reflection on Biblical material to explore these themes and reflect on our experience and practice. As we attend slowly and deeply to the images we create\, so we can journey more deeply with God. \n\n\n\nThe retreat should work for any level of photographer. Whether you use your phone or more sophisticated equipment to create images\, this retreat should improve your craft and deepen your faith. Please also bring a Bible and a notebook. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLed by Revd Dale Hanson. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReverend Dale Hanson is a recently retired Anglican priest\, having served in ministry for nearly 40 years. His vocation has taken him across the UK and internationally\, including two periods in Hong Kong\, time in France\, and most recently to the Falkland Islands\, where he served as locum chaplain at Port Stanley Cathedral. Dale is well known in the North East from his time as vicar of St Nicholas Church in Durham – often called “the church in the marketplace.” He is passionate about his faith\, an experienced retreat leader and has been an enthusiastic bird watcher and wildlife photographer for most of his life. \n\n\n\nEARLY BIRD RATE: £474 (standard room) or £519 (character room) if booked by 17th August 2026.Retreat price: £504 (standard room) or £549 (character room)  \n\n\n\nPrice includes en-suite accommodation\, all meals\, and all retreat resources.

We will look at secondary losses that can be a consequence\, such as loss of companionship\, loss of dreams\, loss of purpose\, loss of identity\, and so on. We will also explore topics that could hold you back\, such as guilt and anger. We hope that each participant will leave this retreat with at least some answers of their own to the question\, “How do I live the best life I can in my current circumstances?” The retreat will include creative activities\, a time of remembrance and an opportunity to develop friendships. There are gentle Christian elements.  \n\n\n\nIf you are unsure whether this event will be suitable for you\, please contact Abi.  \n\n\n\n(Places are limited. For those attending a Part 1 course in 2025 or early 2026\, you may want to go ahead and reserve your place at this Part 2 course. It does not repeat but builds on the Part 1 course.) \n\n\n\nEARLY BIRD RATE: £474 (standard room) or £519 (character room) if booked byRetreat price: £504 (standard room) or £549 (character room)  \n\n\n\nPrice includes en-suite accommodation\, all meals\, and all retreat resources.
