The Art of Praying

Friday 2 to Thursday 8 July, 2010

cosmic mandala6 Day Guided Retreat with Prayer Weekend

"God is at home; it is we who have gone for a walk". (Meister Eckhart)

The art of praying involves coming home to our deepest selves in God, and remaining there even when we go out. Like any art form, prayer requires practice, exploration and trust.

The retreat presentations will reflect on different themes from our life of prayer; trust, solitude, dark passages, tranformation ....  The retreat will use art, particularly mandalas, to explore these themes.
