Are you unsure how you might cope for the whole retreat\, what you might do with your time\, or whether you will like silence? Do you like the thought of stepping away from the busyness of life to have time with God and catch up with yourself? Then this is the retreat for you! The aim of this semi-silent retreat weekend is to help you enter the world of retreats gently and with plenty of guidance and support. \n\n\n\nThis retreat will be led by members of the Launde Abbey Community. \n\n\n\nRevd Anna Walker \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Revd Anna Walker is the new Deputy Warden of Launde Abbey and a spiritual director. She grew up in the Finnish Lutheran Church and trained for ministry in Helsinki\, later moving to the UK with her husband\, whom she met while spending time at the Taizé community in France. They have two children together and have shared a longstanding commitment to community life and retreat ministry. Anna trained for ordination at Lancaster Priory\, served her curacy in Preston\, and was previously Director of Whalley Abbey. She has a deep passion for spiritual direction and is drawn to seek God in silence\, simplicity and creation. In her spare time\, she enjoys baking\, reading\, journaling\, and spending time outdoors. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRevd Alison Long \n\n\n\nAlison is a spiritual director and curate who has been part of the Launde College of Chaplains and ministry team since last July.  \n\n\n\nJo De Graaf \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJo lives in Harby in the beautiful Vale of Belvoir with her husband\, Cor. They have five children and Jo is a very proud Oma to 10 grandchildren\, who bring the family such joy. A few years ago she felt God prompting and calling her to some form of ministry. Jo believes her ministry is to bring people into God’s Kingdom through love; using contemplative spirituality\, hospitality and service of all kinds to help people feel a sense of wholeness within the love of God.
