The Call of Beauty and Art of Transfiguration
‘And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory…’ - 2 Corinthians 3:18
This Quiet Day explores a literal and metaphorical ascent up a mountain, a journey of spiritual formation through aesthetic experience - and transformation thereafter. Using exercises found in creative practice and rooted in Christian theology of the desert fathers – this is a time to reflect upon journeys of change and transition, unlearning and ultimately expanding perception towards a truer light.
Jennifer is a multidisciplinary artist and educator integrating textiles, fashion and poetry.

A residential retreat following a visit to the National Gallery
For centuries, art was one of the principal ways people learnt about Christianity, Bible stories, doctrine, and the practice of prayer. Most of us now experience it in a very different setting of public museums and art galleries. Can it once again form a part of our spiritual learning and life?
This retreat will include a visit to the National Gallery to take a contemplative look at some masterpieces of Christian art and consider how looking at particular artists' visions might challenge or refresh our sense of the familiar. We'll also consider how looking at paintings might play a part in our devotional and prayer life.
Elizabeth is Head of Adult Leaning at St Paul's Cathedral, running the Cathedral's theology and spiritual formation programme. An art historian by training, she worked for many years in museums and galleries in London before joining St Paul's Cathedral.

“Stand at the crossroads and look. Look for the ancient paths. Ask where the good way is and walk in it and you will find rest for your soul.”
Run over 2 days for small groups of up to 8 people and facilitated by 2 experienced coaches, this retreat provides a unique space for people at a crossroads in life to pause, step back and reflect on where they are, the questions they find themselves in, what they really want and how to take steps forward. The crossroads could be vocational, such as a career change, or relational, such as divorce or separation. It could be a significant interruption in life from a change of circumstances or health, or simply a sense of wanting something different from life.

You wake in my heart
An Advent retreat on letting go to God
with Christopher Chapman.
The season of Advent invites us to make room for God. As God awakes within, we begin to wake into the fullness of our being. In meeting our longing, we encounter the God who is always longing for us. Our emptiness becomes the place of God’s indwelling. Through the writings of the prophets, the work of poets across time and the wisdom of the spiritual guide John of the Cross we will explore this Advent awakening.
Christopher Chapman is an experienced spiritual director and retreat giver. He is an associate tutor at St. Augustine’s College of Theology and a guest director at St. Beuno’s Jesuit Spirituality Centre. His most recent book, Doorways to Hope: 40 days of spiritual wisdom, explores the landscape of hope in a challenging world.

'Ten things they never told me about the bible'
We are encouraged to read it, and when we do - for the first or umpteenth time - we realise that Moby Dick or Ulysses might be easier prospects. So what makes for an enjoyable engagement with the Holy Book, and how do we cope with all the bits that don't sound very Christian? This retreat will deal with the big picture and the worrisome details. Proof of bible knowledge or Scripture Union membership is not required.

Adrian Newman had to retire early a few years ago on health grounds. After spending the majority of his life in full-time ministry in the Church of England, most recently as a Dean and then a Bishop, he has spent the past few years reflecting deeply on what ‘retirement’ means and how this phase of life can be lived to the full. He writes about this quiet day:
In human terms, after a working life of ‘composing’ – making lots of things happen – retirement is an opportunity to de-compose in some crucial areas and discover that later life is fertile ground for the wild hope of a new human flourishing.
