Exploring the Mystical | A Morning Retreat

Exploring Spirit: A Morning Retreat

Following on from our Exploring Spirit series on mysticism, we’re hosting a relaxed, friendly retreat morning to explore what it actually feels like to connect with God and to give a bit more space to the mysticism we have been discussion on our Monday evenings sessions.

You don’t need to have come to the evening talks, and you definitely don’t need to be an expert at praying or meditating. Just come along as you are.

How the morning will flow:

• 10.00am coffee, croissant and welcome: Arrive, grab a drink, some breakfast, and take a moment to settle in.
• 10.30am Guided meditation: We’ll read a short Bible passage together and use a simple, imaginative way of praying (known as Ignatian spirituality) to step inside the story.
• 11.00am Get creative: A chance to respond to the passage using art and craft materials—no artistic talent needed, just space to play and see what comes up.
• 11.45am Break
• 12.00pm chat & share: An open, no-pressure space to talk about what you noticed, or simply listen to others.
• 12.45pm A longer quiet sit: We’ll wrap up the morning with a chunk of shared silence to let everything settle before heading back out into the world.

Whether you're spiritually curious, feeling a bit frazzled, or just want some quiet company, you’re warmly invited to join us.
