An invitation to rest and be refreshed in God's presence
Join us online on Saturday June 19th for our next retreat. 9:30am to 12:30pm
An invitation to rest and be refreshed in God’s presence and also to learn spiritual skills and habits that will help as you connect with God in your daily life. Whilst this will be an online guided retreat (using zoom), we will be keeping the online aspect to a minimum to allow you time and space to receive. An outline of the day will be posted here as well as some tools for the journey.

Picture Meditation - Choose an image which instantly stands out to you. Click on it and spend some time taking in the detail. What is the Holy Spirit saying to you? Spend 15 mins contemplating the picture and how it speaks to you. What thoughts and emotions does it stir? How is the Holy Spirit speaking to you about what you see? What steps will you take because of what you have seen and heard? Write down your thoughts and actions in a notebook or journal.
