Prayer through the lens of the Enneagram
Led by: Maria Manuela Silva
Prayer is about relationship, with God, ourselves, and others. As we pray, we surrender to God and to God's work in us and through us. How might the Enneagram help us with that ancient request, 'Lord, teach us to pray'?
The Enneagram is first and foremost an invitation to exploration, movement, and connection. As you enter its circle, travel along its lines, and stop awhile with each of its numbers, we invite you to discover its potential to illuminate your praying.
We will dig deep into the three centres of intelligence and the nine expressions of personality, connecting them to the great spiritual movements of consolation and desolation. We will also touch on a range of spiritual practices and postures for you to explore.
We will assume you have a basic familiarity with the Enneagram. For a refresher on the basics of the Enneagram, please visit https://www.enneagraminstitute.com.
If you don't know your Enneatype (the number), you can purchase a test here: https://tests.enneagraminstitute.com/orders/create.

Praying with our full humanity
Led by: Nicola Mason
God created us human and chose in the incarnation to share our humanity, yet many of us seem to feel or act as if being the particular human we are - in all our unvarnished reality - hinders us from sharing in God’s life, or from being the holy people we long to be. We can be dogged by a sense that we need to improve and tempted to bring only selected parts of ourselves to prayer.
This weekend, in company with saints and writers past and present, we will look at how we can learn to pray with all of our humanity, and discover that every part of ourselves and our experience is holy ground, and the place of our encounter with God.

One Thing is Needful: a Day with Martha, Mary and Jesus
Led by: Dr Antonia Lynn
Martha and Mary are often seen as opposites, and we think we know all about them: it’s better to be like Mary sitting at the feet of Jesus than Martha grumbling in the kitchen… But there’s much more to these two sisters who were both such close friends of Jesus, especially if we consider their stories in John’s Gospel as well as Luke’s. They can reveal much about our human complexity and how it enriches our faith. This will be a reflective day, with input to evoke thought and prayer, and plenty of gentle, relaxing space to ponder the “Martha and Mary” within each of us, finding our own unique way to deepen our friendship with Our Lord.
Starts at 10am and finishes at 4pm. Please bring a packed lunch.

Overnight stay (B&B – Fri – Sat) + day retreat: £85
Choosing Life
Led by: Christopher Chapman
A retreat for those seeking new direction in their lives
Choices face us within our relationships, work, and ministry. Sometimes we are aware of a specific choice that is ours to make; at other times what we recognise is the need for change, without seeing where this leads us. Sometimes events jolt us out of our former path and we don’t know how to respond.
Drawing on themes and prayer exercises from the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises, this retreat will provide the space and resources to explore new directions, as we become aware of the invitation of the Spirit.
God desires to lead us into our own truth: a truth that will set us free and enable our lives to be fruitful.

Led by: Anne Booth

Abba Amma: Improvisations on the Lord's Prayer

The Lord's Prayer or the Our Father is a prayer text and practice that unites Christians worldwide and puts us in touch with Jesus and Christians throughout the ages.

In this day, Nicola Slee will share something of her own journey with the Lord's Prayer and suggest that we are called, not so much to repeat the prayer unvaryingly, as to live in its pattern and improvise around it to find our own authentic way of praying.

Follow the Sun: Discernment for Midsummer
Led by Dr Antonia Lynn
We risk losing touch with the rhythm of the seasons in lives ruled more by the clock than by the Sun. And yet there is a growing interest in spiritual discernment: learning to understand the seasons of the soul and hear what God is saying through them. St Ignatius Loyola, a pioneer of the art of discernment who learnt from his own experience the rhythms of spiritual consolation and desolation, advises us to pay attention to our bodies and even the weather of the different seasons in our prayer. So this day in Midsummer, once considered a sacred time of year, offers an imaginative chance to look at Ignatian discernment through the lens of Celtic and Anglo-Saxon ways of celebrating the seasons.
