“A balanced life – I wish!” If that’s your reaction, this Advent retreat offers an invitation to draw aside, rest and reflect. Using the season of Advent as a time of preparation, Rev. Andrew Hall explores what it means to welcome God’s love more deeply into our lives and to reimagine the rhythms of daily life with God.
As we approach Christmas, we are invited to reflect on the tensions many of us feel between ‘doing’ and ‘being’, between prayer and action, between the demands of life and call of devotion to Christ.
How do we encounter God today when our lives are often full of activity and noise? How do we find the space, time and quiet to pay attention to the God who is within and around us so that we can hear what God is saying to us?
Join us for a Quiet Day exploring the life, writings and contemplative vision of Thomas Merton (1915–1968), one of the twentieth century’s most influential Christian spiritual writers. Led by the Revd Canon James Shakespeare, the day offers space for reflection inspired by Merton’s enduring wisdom.
This Quiet Day is now fully booked but please check our calendar for other Quiet Days happening soon. Explore the timeless wisdom of St Benedict in this Quiet Day led by Revd Catherine Wright. Through guided reflections, you’ll consider themes of community, balance, work and prayer, with plenty of space for silence, personal prayer and quiet reflection in the peaceful surroundings of Launde Abbey.

The aim of this semi-silent retreat weekend is to help you enter the world of silent retreats gently and with plenty of support. There will be guidance on how to use the time; periods on your own and with the other retreatants, and the opportunity to share your experience with others if you wish to do so. Led by members of the Launde Abbey Community.
