Diving For Pearls Retreat
5th September 2022, 4:00 pm to 8th September 2022, 2:00 pm
£415
Exploring the depths of prayer; newly-discovered writings from the seventh century Isaac the Syrian by Andrew Mayes guides this retreat. (Andrew’s book won a first-place prize in the 2022 Catholic Media Association Awards!)
These astonishingly beautiful texts invite us to leave the shallows and plunge into the deep waters of prayer. “There”, says Isaac, “we may discover in the ocean of grace pearls of new insight and fresh intuitions of God.”
This retreat beckons us to relax, enjoy God’s creation and to allow ourselves to sink gently into the beckoning waters of contemplation, where we open our hearts and minds to fresh discoveries of God – and of ourselves.
Andrew Mayes was formerly Spirituality Adviser both to the diocese of Chichester and the diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf. He has worked for some years in Jerusalem, and is the author of 12 spirituality books. A Franciscan and Anglican priest, Andrew delights in imagery and metaphor that takes us into the deeper reaches of prayer.
Early bird price: £395 if booked before 5th July 2022. Full price £415.
