Dear Friends!

I’m so pleased to announce to you an online retreat to run from Advent to Epiphany this year. For the first time ever, you can experience Contemplative at Home ‘live’ in the company of fellow pilgrims.

If you would like to set aside some time and space 

to be present to yourself,

to the Spirit of God among us

and to the sacred significance of this season, 

you are warmly welcome to join us 

 on Zoom

Tuesday evenings from 7:30-9:15pm GMT

1 December to 12 January

Using poetry, scripture and wisdom from the contemplative Christian tradition, we will explore topics including Letting Go, Waiting, Saying Yes in the Dark, and A Path in the Desert.

Each session will include stilling and breathwork, a guided meditation (much like the podcast), time off-screen with a meditative prompt, and a brief time in small groups to listen to the experience of those on the retreat with you.

Participants will also receive suggested prayer prompts to use between the sessions, in your own private practice of prayer through the week.

To Register for the retreat please fill in this form

If willing and able, participants are asked to give a suggested donation of £30. Pay more if you can, pay less if you can, feel free to join us if you can’t pay anything at all. Donations, which will help cover costs of the work of Contemplative at Home, can be made here. 

If you’re unable to join in real time, recordings of each session will be available for one week following the live broadcast. This link can also be used to register to receive the recordings. If you will only be attending via this “catch up” service, you might consider a smaller donation.

Thank you friends! It will be an honour to share space with those of you who decide to join us and I’m already looking forward to sharing the sacred space ‘with’ you, over Zoom.

Every Blessing,

Lissy xx
