The retreat will begin at 17:00 (UK time) on Monday and end with lunch on Friday.
The Ammerdown Centre, Somerset
As we consciously embrace a substantial period of silence we open ourselves to things we need to see and acknowledge, whether that’s old hurts and habits or new paths and projects. Life-changing surprises and deep insights become possible.
This retreat is carefully structured to encourage silence to develop throughout. While sharing regular quiet gatherings with other participants, you will have daily personal time with one of the retreat leaders where you can share what is happening for you but also receive individual guidance on how to make the most of what the silence is showing you.
As you explore what is arising specifically for you personally, you will also discover the benefit of being in the supportive presence of others. Each day will include shared silent worship, a morning presentation to help nurture your personal reflections during the day and plenty of time to enjoy the beauty of Ammerdown’s surroundings.
