Residential & Non-Residential Retreats

Residential and Non-Residential Retreats

In a simple but beautiful setting, among the retreats offered are:

• The Easter Triduum – ‘Mystery not history’, this begins annually on Holy Thursday with a Seder meal. It celebrates not what once happened to Jesus but what is happening to us.
• The Wonders of Creation – This engages the whole person, integrating cosmology, spirituality, scripture, theology, reflection, poetry, ritual and the outdoors.
• An Ashram Experience – This offers meditation, mindfulness and yoga, and an opportunity to be immersed in Spirituality, meditation and opening oneself to God.
• Self-development – In this retreat participants learn to use imagery to enhance their creative, personal, professional and spiritual lives.

Regular Workshops

• Both Yoga and Tai Chi workshops – at all levels – are available throughout the year.
• Capacitor, a therapy created in South America in the 1980s, offers self-care and wellness practices, and stress-busting techniques.
• ‘Be the Change’ asks us to look at our place in the world and how we care for the planet.
• ‘Women of the Bible’ re-tells the stories of women featured in the bible.
• A workshop on The Four Church Women of El Salvador is a recent addition.
