Guided New Year's retreat (online)

Join us at the start of a New Year, in community, to pause and reflect with intention. 

"Most important of all, do everything you can to nurture your spiritual intelligence. It is your only genuine source of hope, direction, meaning and comfort." - Cynthia Bourgeault

As a centre for peace & reconciliation, we know how important it is to cultivate our inner peace and 'nurture our spiritual intelligence' through moments of contemplation and reflection. The beginning of a New Year is often a time that can be helpful to take a moment to reflect on what has been, to listen to the still, small voice inside us, and to begin with intention.

This online retreat will offer us a collective space to notice what keeps us connected to our values and will include:

• The stories that guide the work of St Ethelburga's

• Prompts and space for journaling to reflect on 2025 and sense into 2026

• Optional breakout rooms for conversation and connection

• Shared silence and meditation

People from all faiths and none are very welcome. Please come ready with a journal, pen and/or art supplies, and an open heart. You are invited to join with your cameras on or off and to participate at your own pace.

Facilitated by Rebecca Brierley
