Rediscovering the Ancient Paths with Bernard of Clairvaux

13th October 2025, 4:00 pm to 15th October 2025, 4:00 pm

£350

This two-day retreat will be an intimate conversation with one of the greatest exponents of the love of God, Bernard of Clairvaux, a French twelfth-century monk. Jenny Campbell’s text In Search of Friendship: Lessons from a Monastic Tradition will be the basis for exploring desire and love of God; love within the Trinity embracing earthly spiritual friendship; the disciplines of silence, contemplation and a prophetical reading of Scripture. 

The retreat will offer teaching, worship, prayer, times of silence and the opportunity for individual appointments with the retreat conductor and relaxation in the grounds and surrounding countryside.
