An opportunity to learn how to experience God’s real presence in contemplative silence
Over many years the Lord has given great blessings through the Light out of Darkness courses that have been run within the Maranatha Community. Based on a book written by Sr. Kathleen O’Sullivan, God has used this course to teach Christians about deepening spirituality and contemplative prayer.
In order to make the Light out of Darkness retreat more accessible, and yet still retain the fullness of all that it has to offer, we now run it in two parts, ‘Stepping out in Faith’ and ‘Building with the Spirit’ so as to take more time to draw on its richness and to include supplementary video talks given by Sr Kathleen. Even if you have already experienced ‘Light out of Darkness’ this is an opportunity to revisit at a slower and deeper level.
Each retreat will take place in contemplative silence, and whilst some find this difficult at the beginning of a retreat, most find it so valuable by the end.
This retreat will take place in contemplative silence with teaching and sharing sessions during the day. It will cover the first two parts of the ‘Light out of Darkness’ book: ‘First Steps’ and ‘Prepare the Way’. This retreat stands as a complete retreat in itself and will be run from Monday 9th October, starting at 12 noon, until after lunch on Friday 13th October. Cost £265.
