(ONLINE) JOURNEYING ON A LEAF | A Retreat on the inspirational Christian Saint Ia...

The Irish Saint Ia, at a young age, literally missed the boat when her companions left Ireland, heading for Cornwall. Fearing crossing the sea alone, she prayed and saw a small leaf floating on the water. She watched it and it grew larger and larger. She trusted God, the leaf became her coracle and carried her across the ocean. Ia’s story will be the creative ground from which to draw from in order to deepen your own spirituality. Using Ignatian guided imaginative prayer, you will explore the journey of surrender, solitude, the leafy coracle and the wild elemental ocean, wind and sky. Her incredible odyssey across the sea will also offer beautiful material for your own creative writing. We will explore this beautiful journey in the reflective space of this retreat. All are welcome and no writing experience is needed.
