The School’s Silent Retreat
The School Retreat is a six day residential opportunity suitable for people who have begun to integrate the John Main tradition of meditation into daily life. Retreat leaders will assume that participants are familiar with the Essential Teaching of John Main as they lead you into seven periods of meditation each day. Supporting the periods of meditation are contemplative walks, short talks, lectio divina and regular one to one opportunities to talk with the group leaders.
The retreat offers the profound and integrated experience of solitude with fellowship. It is an opportunity to enter into the heart of the tradition taught by John Main.
