This weekend welcomes new people to the practice of meditation, and people who have been before, but who want a meditative weekend of silent learning.
Terry Doyle, an Oblate for the World Community of Christian Meditation, will conduct the silent weekend, through the teachings of John Main and Laurence Freeman, and periods of meditation practice. Fr Christopher will accompany the sessions and contribute some input from the Rule of Benedict.
Alongside this exploration, retreatants will have the opportunity to join the Monastic Community for its daily cycle of prayer, Mass, and sessions led by monks, with ample time for personal reflection, prayer, or exploring the beautiful surroundings of Ampleforth Abbey.
This guided retreat includes full board and light refreshments.
