LABYRINTH TRAINING DAY PROGRAMME for those in the Diocese

Wednesday 30th July 11.30am-5pm.

At Christ Church, Dublin.

The labyrinth is a safe, beautiful prayerful holding space and offers time to slow down, walk one's pathway, listen to the inner journey, be attuned to the freeing movements of the soul. Following the path of the labyrinth, we mindfully journey inwards towards the centre, towards God, and then walk back out into the world. Releasing, receiving and renewing, this is time to find affirming space, to deepen a sense of our true self and journey on in our spirituality and faith. This day will introduce the labyrinth and include a presentation, a labyrinth prayer walk and training to support you in how to facilitate labyrinth prayer walks. Facilitating labyrinth prayer walks can be a really rewarding ministry and deepen the spiritual journey of faith. All are welcome, no experience necessary.

Residential Retreat at Ballyvaloo Retreat and Conference Centre:

THE WOMAN AT THE WELL (John 4:1-42) | An invitation to journey to the well, to Christ the Living Water.

 At Jacob’s well, Jesus broke strict rules of his time in order to reach a woman who was struggling with past relationships, exclusion and isolation; he listened to her in a non-judgmental way, saw her huge potential and she was transformed, finding her own confidence and her own voice. We will explore this intriguing Gospel passage, which helps to illuminate women’s inner soul journeys and offers an invitation to walk to the ‘well’, to Christ the One who restores us. The retreat will include imagery, theatre presentation, discussion of the Gospel passage, Ignatian guided prayer based on the beautiful journey to the well, etc.

Jonah’s descent into the belly of the whale is an ancient, inspirational story.
