This is a weekend individually guided retreat offering time and space to notice and pay attention to God and the work of God in your life. The bulk of the retreat time will be spent in silence as you spend time with God. You will meet with a retreat guide once a day. As well as being able to join with the Launde community in worship\, there will be a time of guided prayer each evening.  Along with the time and space to explore the beautiful house and grounds\, there will be a variety of creative approaches available to support your times of prayer. The retreat has been designed specifically with those new to silent retreats in mind\, but will also be accessible to those for whom silent retreats are already a part of life. \n\n\n\nThe retreat is led by Rhona Knight and a team of experienced spiritual accompaniers.  \n\n\n\nRhona is a member of the College of Chaplains at Launde. She is a theological educator\, pastoral supervisor and spiritual director and is the author of a number of books and resources on discipleship and 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 30th January 2025!Price includes en-suite accommodation\, all meals\, and all retreat resources.
