The Enneagram is a powerful tool for personal and spiritual development which combines ancient wisdom from the Christian tradition with insights from modern psychology. As well as introducing the Enneagram, the day will also shed light on how our different personalities colour our approaches to spirituality, prayer, and faith. It will be relevant both to Enneagram newcomers and those already familiar with the system.
Dave Tomlinson is an Anglican priest, author, and broadcaster. He is also a qualified teacher of the Enneagram in the Narrative Tradition with over 20 years’ experience. He has taught it in churches, charitable organisations, and businesses, as well as using it as the basis for marriage preparation and couples counselling.

Personal Residential Retreat including time with a Spiritual Director
The Royal Foundation is offering an opportunity to come for a personal one night residential retreat with an opportunity to meet 1:1 with a listener.
We all come from situations in life when we need someone to talk to. The reasons can be many. There may be questions about our work or mission, but also personal or existential issues that we need support and help to process in connection with life. Sometimes things rise up when we set time aside to be still.

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.

'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.

Taking the theme of Psalm 18:19 ‘He brought me out into a spacious place’ Shaun and Mike will help us inhabit our God-given spacious place within. In that place of stillness we learn to cultivate curiosity, wonder and being non-judgmental. We find ourselves able to respond with wisdom rather than react negatively in our relationships. Mike and Shaun will bring their usual blend of wisdom, scripture, mindfulness, song and fun as we access our hidden creativity.
Shaun is an author, mindfulness researcher, psychotherapist, and Baptist minister, who has completed a doctorate exploring the mindfulness of God.
Mike is currently Chaplain at the Scargill Community and a “natural voice” practitioner who has been running singing workshops and choirs for over 20 years, helping and encouraging people to have confidence in their voice and find God in the joy of singing together.

“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.

Following the wonderful day last year we are thrilled to host another of these powerful days led by Junior as he helps us explore how the rich spiritual anthems can enliven our call to Christian Prayer today.
It is a delight that The Spirituals have a close relationship with RFSK and so it is a joy to welcome Junior to lead this day with us.
The Spirituals were formed in October 2020 by music director, Junior, and arranger/ conductor Marsha B Morrison. Their first EP with the lead single 'Wade in the water' has gained over 10 million views on YouTube, clearly there was a niche in the market and The Spirituals found it. The reimagining of spiritual anthems and songs is their speciality and fans across the world love it. This led the way for future projects, more reimagined songs, appearances on the BBC including Songs of Praise, filming in the iconic St Paul's Cathedral and Lambeth Palace

The Strengths of a Leader
A Two-Day Senior Leadership Residential Retreat with Dr Roger Bretherton
The Royal Foundation of St Katharine have been working with the School of Psychology at the University of Lincoln to co-create a strengths-based retreat for senior leaders. This two-day residential retreat will draw upon Character Strengths Psychology to provide evidence-based insights and practical exercises on how to lead authentically and effectively. It will introduce the 24 positive qualities of character – like wisdom, self-control, gratitude and love – shown by thousands of scientific studies to create a flourishing life and productive work, and demonstrate how using our own unique character strengths can change not only our mood state, but the whole social system in which we lead.

Living With Cancer – Walking In Hope
A personal reflective day for those who have ever experienced cancer
A diagnosis of cancer can turn life upside down and affect every part of our being, even years after the initial diagnosis and treatment. Yet in the tumult of medications, discomfort, tiredness, ongoing uncertainties and fears it can be hard to find time and energy to process and make sense of what has happened and what we continue to experience.
‘Living With Cancer – Walking In Hope’ is a day for people who continue to live with the reality of a past cancer diagnosis, who would appreciate a time of quiet to reflect on where their journey with cancer has taken them, and space to allow ‘soul’ to catch up with body.

The Kingdom of Heaven is like…? Reading the Parables with fresh eyes.
The parables are, arguably, the most characteristic of Jesus’ teaching. During this day we will spend time with some well loved (and some much well-known) of Jesus’ parables asking how they can speak to us afresh today.
We are thrilled to welcome Paula to lead another popular Study Reflective day with us.
