A day of nature based meditation and relaxation guided and facilitated by an experienced nature based practitioner and certified breathworks coach.

This highly influential man, who held some of the most significant roles in the Dominican tradition in the 14th century, taught mostly Beguine women in the mystic reality of how to embody the Cosmic Christ. With Christo-centric teachings that sound a lot like the teachings from Buddhism, which is highly influential in modern Western culture, such as detachment; apophatic theology (the unknowing of God); and a deep reverence to the sacredness of nature, Meister Eckhart disrupted the status quo of the institutional church of his day, bringing about a continually deepening teaching of deconstruction of institutionalised faith.

Come to this day to find out how these century old teachings are just as relevant today in helping move the church and its individual members forward to a better future.

On the feast day of Hildegard of Bingen, come and spend a day immersed in her naturalism, spirituality, art, and music and discover more of your inner self. 

This 20th century scholar of mysticism wrote some of the most significant books on the mystic tradition, and the Christian mystics in particular. She never claimed to be a mystic, but wrote like one as she expanded the teachings of mystics through the centuries. Her teachings, through her books and the transcripts we can obtain from her talks at retreats she ran, are some of the best teachings of mysticism out there. She saw the world’s, and the individuals’ relationship with the Divine, or as she termed it ‘Ultimate Reality’, as the key to the transformation of all things. Profoundly deep whilst being beautifully accessible, Evelyn Underhill remains a pillar of the Christian mystic tradition.

Come to this day to discover more of what she has to say, and how she herself was, in fact, a deeply mystical person, and find out how we might be able to take on board her version of the mystics of the past to transform our own lives for the better.

Through the use of sacred space we create an environment in which we can open up, be real with each other, and help each other to grow towards sacred masculinity so that we can be fully present in the world, with our families, in our workplace.

Held in the Atlas Mountains, Morocco, just 90 minutes from Marrakech. The retreat takes place on the Yagour Plateau, at 2500m altitude. An ancient sacred place of pilgrimage with thousands of prehistoric rock engravings, this is a place where men have come for millennia. First the hunter-gatherers, then in more recent history the mystics, and now the shepherds, and us!

A day looking at deconstructing our concepts of God to create space for

the Ultimate Divine Reality to be revealed to our inner self.

If you struggle with the dark season, come and join us for this day where we will have opportunity to share our struggles, but also to learn coping techniques and gain support to make it through the dark.

This 14th century teacher from the Orthodox tradition wrote one of the most influential books on the Easten Orthodox contemplative and mystic tradition - Hesychasm. Archbishop of Thessalonica, Palamas defended an official attack on the Orthodox monks who had dedicated their lives to silent prayer, and spoke of how powerful that lifestyle could be. The energy created by the deep contemplative hesychast monks was, he taught, able to transform the atmosphere in a wider context to their own physical proximity. Speaking words that sound a little like the modern conversation and continuing discoveries in Quantum Mechanics, Gregory Palamas shows how hesychasm – a Greek word that literally means ‘stillness’ – brought about by using the mantra of the traditional Orthodox ‘Jesus Prayer’ - can transform not only the individual, but the world as a whole.

Come to this day to discover how the simple, yet profoundly deep, practice of hesychasm can transform your inner being in a way that has a natural affect on the rest of the world.

Come and join us for a day to learn about the Winter season from a Celtic perspective. After a day of teaching and meditation space, sit by a warm open fire in the early evening and sing seasonal songs.
