Life is hectic. Finding time out feels almost impossible. We want to pray, we want to reflect, but when we do find a snatched moment to ourselves, we remain distracted.
I've designed this space to help you reconnect with your breath, to gently stretch your body, and to listen... to the voice of your inner wisdom, and to the voice of your Beloved.
We will meditate with Christian scripture, we will journal, we will use creative means to listen to the Spirit.
We will share silence, we will move our bodies, we will sit with Love.
A little time out, to check in.
I hope you will come away feeling centred, refreshed and assured of your belovedness.
Two hours at Leasowes Farm in Warwickshire, UK in a small group setting (max 8).
Each month a new theme will be explored. Different dates in the same month will cover the same material. See the 'Virtual Mini Retreats' page for a Zoom-based version of the same retreat.
"Come away with me to a quiet place" Mark 6:31

Mini-Retreats are hosted by Lissy Clarke, spiritual director, yoga and meditation teacher best known for the weekly audio meditations at Contemplative at Home. Lissy and her family live at Leasowes Farm, a late 17th century farmhouse nestled in the Warwickshire countryside where they have developed the outbuildings to be used as a place for rest and retreat. We look forward to welcoming you here.
