Led by Kerryn Penson

Join us for a day exploring the spirituality of two Carmelite saints, John of the Cross and Edith Stein (Teresia Benedicta a Cruce). Drawing on Edith Stein’s dialogue with John of the Cross, we will ponder the importance of John’s ‘Dark Night’ and Edith’s ‘Science of the Cross’ for our prayer and spirituality today. This gentle and reflective day will offer times of input and space for personal reflection and prayer.

Starts at 10am and finishes at 4pm. Please bring a packed lunch.

Cost: £30

Overnight stay (B&B, Fri - Sat) + day retreat: £85
