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.
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.
This retreat ‘Building with the Spirit’ builds on the material in ‘Stepping out in Faith’ and covers the last part of the ‘Light out of Darkness’ book: ‘Building the Temple’. It is for those who have already enjoyed the first retreat and aims at a development of depth and a deeper spirituality. It also serves as a refresher for those who have done ‘Light out of Darkness’ prior to 2011 and it includes parts of the course not covered in those previous retreats.
A deeper encounter with God transforms our lives and enables us to walk in new freedom and light.
This retreat will take place in contemplative silence with teaching and sharing sessions during the day. It will run from the Monday 3rd April, starting at 12 noon, until after lunch on Friday 7th April. Cost £265.
