Quilting and Textiles Retreat ***FULLY BOOKED***

God in the Ebb and Flow of our Lives.

**This retreat is now fully booked. Please use the form below to enquire about being placed on our waiting list.**

Using our creativityand the medium of textiles, we will express and explore the relationship we have with God the creator throughout the ebb and flow of our lives.  The metaphor of ‘the rhythm of the seas and oceans’ will be our focus and reminder that we have an unchanging God in an ever changing world.

In the ‘seascape’ of our lives, we explore the ebb and flow of the tides, and discover how God is involved in our shaping, polishing, and honing.

As part of the retreat there will be an opportunity to make a small seascape panel which can be joined up into a larger piece of work as a wall hanging.  You are also welcome to bring your own sewing project.  We recommend that any sewing machines used should have been PAT tested within the last three years.

Revd Claire Goode is a Chaplain at Launde Abbey. She is an experienced parish priest and retreat leader who was most recently the Vicar of a city centre church in Nottingham.
