SUMMARY:At the Threshold
DESCRIPTION:A space to slow down\, be still\, and notice – to listen to your soul\, to nature\, to friend and stranger\, and to the Divine within and beyond.\n\n\n  \nAt The Threshold (ACT881) \nTues 19th – Fri 22nd January 2027 \nLed by Anna Robinson \nWinter marks the start of the year in the Celtic calendar. It is a time of stillness\, reflection\, and quiet beginnings\, as the earth rests and life prepares to awaken. Spring is traditionally marked on February 1st – St Brigid’ Day\, when snowdrops\, daffodils\, and primroses begin to push through the soil\, and the returning light signals the gradual stirring of new life. Yet winter still holds with long nights and frosts alongside Springs slow return – it is a threshold moment between endings and beginnings. \nThis retreat draws on the theme of thresholds. As Irish poet and philosopher John O’Donohue wrote\, “A threshold is not a simple boundary: it is a frontier that divides two different territories\, rhythms and atmospheres.” Crossing a threshold asks for courage and a deep trust in the goodness within and around us as the new and unknown unfolds. \nThe retreat is designed for those on a faith-shifting journey\, who may no longer fit where they once belonged or who find themselves in liminal spaces\, moving from certainty toward embracing mystery. It offers a space to slow down\, be still\, and notice – to listen to your soul\, to nature\, to friend and stranger\, and to the Divine within and beyond. We draw on the beautiful grounds and nature at Ashburnham Place\, the concept of thresholds and the story of Brigid as a threshold figure in the Celtic Imagination. \nHosted by Anna Robinson\, one of the hosts of the Nomad Podcast and curator of monthly meditations\, and LiveLight|DwellDeep founder\, where she facilitates discussion groups\, online mini-retreats throughout the year\, and in-person contemplative retreats for reflection\, connection\, exploration\, and rest. Anna draws on mystical and contemplative Christian traditions to guide participants in connecting more deeply with themselves\, the season\, and their own sense of the sacred. \nFor more information on this retreat and other seasonal offerings\, or to join us on the journey\, please visit Livelightdwelldeep.org \nTO BOOK please call our Bookings Team on 01424 894201 or click on the link to book online \nSingle Occupancy £354.00 per person \nShared Occupancy £306.00 per person

SUMMARY:Where is God when it Hurts
DESCRIPTION:Join us to explore the deeper meaning behind life’s struggles in a thought-provoking discussion on “Where is God when it Hurts”.\n\n\nWhere is God when it hurts? (ACT 873) \nFinding God in unexpected places \nTues 16th 0 Fri 19th March 2027 \nLed by Kate Nicholas \nThis reflective retreat offers a gentle invitation to those who find themselves carrying pain\, questions\, or uncertainty\, and who long to encounter God in the midst of real life as it is. \nWhere is God when it hurts? is a question many of us ask quietly — in times of illness\, loss\, grief\, or when faith feels more fragile than it once did. This retreat does not seek to rush towards answers or explanations\, but instead creates space to slow down\, be still\, and notice where God may already be present. \nThrough a carefully held rhythm of storytelling\, guided reflection\, creative prayer\, silence and worship\, participants will be invited to look back over their lives and notice where God has been at work; to dwell honestly with valleys and unanswered questions; and to explore practices of stillness\, trust\, and attentive listening. The journey moves gently from memory and pain\, through wrestling and mystery\, towards hope and unexpected joy. \nThere is no pressure to share or perform. Silence is welcomed. Doubt is honoured. Laughter and tears both have a place. This is a retreat for those who feel weary\, those navigating change\, and those seeking a deeper\, more spacious faith rooted in God’s presence rather than certainty. \nKate Nicholas is an award-winning author\, broadcaster and speaker\, known for her thoughtful\, compassionate approach to faith\, suffering\, and transformation. Drawing on Scripture\, lived experience\, and contemplative Christian traditions\, Kate creates safe\, prayerful spaces in which people can listen deeply — to God\, to their own hearts\, and to one another. \nThis retreat is especially suited to those who sense they are in a tender place\, who are learning to live with unanswered questions\, or who simply need time to rest\, reflect\, and rediscover God in unexpected places. \nFind out more about Kate’s ministry at www.katenicholas.co.uk \nTO BOOK please call our Bookings Team on 01424 894201 or click on the link to book online \nSingle Occupancy £354.00 per person \nShared Occupancy £306.00 per person
