Weekend Residential Retreat, Skelmorlie.  14-16th May 2010

Posted Wednesday 03 March 2010

Children and adults on retreat?  Oil and water?  Let’s find out.  Here’s space and time for us to pray, to explore and discuss how we may foster natural prayer practices for both supposedly grown-ups and children, alone and together. How may the outlooks and approaches of each inform and benefit the other?

These children are the very centre of life in the kingdom.
When I grew up, I left those infant ways for good.

Even going to get a look at the kingdom, let alone get in…...become
simple and elemental again.*

This is a weekend residential retreat taking over the Notre Dame Retreat centre in Skelmorlie on the west coast, just north of Largs.  This very comfortable large house overlooks the Clyde and the isles of Bute and Arran.  Costs are £14 per person per night and is self-catering.  Arrival and departure times on Friday and Sunday are very generous. 

Contact Andrew and Kirsty Hook if you are interested.
