Holy Week Retreat

Jesus’ journey to towards the cross drew together a complex of threads into a single, striking tapestry: a challenge to the Roman authorities, a provocation of the religious leaders, a self-denying call to his followers, and a cosmic struggle with the powers of evil and darkness. During this retreat we’ll be walking the road to Calvary as we trace the story in the gospels through reflections, prayer, meditation and silent contemplation. And we’ll consider how we can walk in the footsteps of Christ in our own troubled times.

Revd Alison Myers

Alison came to Launde Abbey having been a Team Rector in rural ministry in Cambridgeshire.  She has crafted and led many reflective services and gatherings using spoken word, music, silence and creative prayer stations.  She is also an experienced workshop leader and mentor, combining spirituality and theology with the practical challenges of leadership, team-working and managing change, informed by her working life before she was ordained as well as theological study and lifelong faith.  Alison  loves praying outdoors, a good cup of coffee, noticing the cycle of the seasons and encouraging a wondering faith. She lives with her family onsite at Launde Abbey.
