Led by Revd Chris Webb. \n\n\n\nThe purpose of this retreat is to provide those who practice contemplation the time and space to deepen their practice (whether centring prayer\, Christian meditation\, mindfulness or some other approach). \n\n\n\nBy sitting together in supportive\, contemplative silence at intervals throughout the course of the day\, we will deepen our contemplative practice by immersing ourselves gently but generously into it together. We’ll provide space within us and among us to allow the silence of God to expand across the landscape of our hearts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn a series of short conferences\, we will reflect on how the great contemplative tradition speaks into our present experience\, helping to shape and deepen our contemplative practice. Drawing on the Desert Christians\, the Cloud of Unknowing\, Julian of Norwich\, John of the Cross and Teresa of Avila\, we’ll explore the inner noise that draws us away from our true selves\, the gentle reshaping of our intentions\, the problems of discouragement and darkness\, the awareness of Christ already within us\, and more. \n\n\n\nChris Webb\, Deputy Warden of Launde Abbey\, is an Anglican priest who has ministered as president of a spiritual formation ministry in the USA\, as a parish priest in Wales and in a church for the homeless. He is the author of two books: The Fire of the Word (2011) and God-Soaked Life (2017). \n\n\n\nRetreat price: £240 (standard room) or £270 (character room) with the option to have a pre-retreat stay on the Sunday night for an extra £95.00 (inclusive of lunch on the Monday before the retreat starts). \n\n\n\nPrice 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. Please contact the Abbey directly if you would like to extend your stay. \n\n\n\nClick here to book your place on this retreat now: \n\n\n\n\nBook Now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe’re offering this retreat at a reduced price due to short notice. A quiet space has become available in the rhythm of life at Launde Abbey\, and we felt called to offer a contemplative intensive retreat in this space. We hope it will be a blessing to those who need time to rest\, reflect\, and be still with God. \n\n\n\nFor any questions\, or queries or if you’d like to know more\, please call  01572 717254 or alternatively email us: info@launde.org.uk.

To develop healthy rhythms as we seek to live out our lives of faith. To understand the importance of rest as well as action\, and that adopting this balance is\, in fact\, biblical. \n\n\n\nThere will be time to listen\, pray and reflect\, with optional creative\, reflective activities for those who find them helpful. \n\n\n\nThis Quiet Day will be led by the Revd Fran Grasham\, our Resident Chaplain. \n\n\n\nQuiet Day price: £46 includes lunch and coffee and tea throughout the day.Why not think about extending your time at Launde by staying overnight after the event.  Check for availability and a quote when you contact us. \n\n\n\nYes – I’d like to take part in this Quiet Day!
