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
