I Am The Gate: Sewing Retreat ***FULLY BOOKED***

This retreat is now fully booked.  Please complete the form on this page if you wish to be placed on the waiting list.

There is another sewing retreat running on 14th August so you may wish to consider booking a place on that retreat instead.

Jesus said, “I Am The Gate”
Meeting God at thresholds and crossing places

In this retreat, we will explore places of encounter, places of change, places where change happens ‘whether I want it to or not.’  We will do this with creative prayer, poems, reflections and quiet.

There will also be an opportunity to do some creative stitching – possibly a landscape, or a traditional patchwork design, such as ‘Attic Windows’ or a piece of your own choosing.  Claire will bring some additional fabric and haberdashery with her.
