INDIVIDUAL RETREATS OR QUIET SPACE

You are always welcome to come and have your own space for a few days or longer. Space to reflect, recuperate, refresh,  meditate, depending on your need and what  you are looking for.  We are willing to provide Individual accompaniment/ a listening ear if requested and also to offer suggestions and resources to help you enter into the peace  and spaciousness of this setting if you are new to this type of quiet time.

JOINING A  SILENT GROUP RETREAT

We also offer some group retreats which take place within the context of corporate silence; each person has a session of individual accompaniment. each day. Your accompanier will listen to you, as you reflect on whatever you choose to share of your experience and offer resources which may enable you to go deeper.

Within the corporate silence of these group retreats, you may be looking for a specifically Ignatian Retreat based on the dynamic of the Spiritual Exercises   – in which case your Accompanier will be someone with appropriate training. The Ignatian ethos honours each journey in the Spirit and encourages individuals to listen and reflect on the material suggested.  This is usually from Biblical Scriptures but poetry, dreams, art or clay may also be used.

A rare opportunity to make The Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius of Loyola here  on a residential basis.  This silent individuallly accompanied retreat encourages growth in discernment, greater  spiritual freedom and growth.

It lasts for 35 days to allow for a settling in period.

Please do contact us if you would like further information.  It is advisable to have already made a shorter  Ignatian retreat
