Rest, Release, Return, Restore
6 Week Lenten Journey
(Plus complimentary half day retreat)
You are warmly invited to walk this sacred path—a journey into the unfolding mystery of your life, held tenderly in the embrace of Christ’s unconditional love.
Together, we will tend the places within that long for healing, offering them compassion and care through a gentle weaving of contemplative practices, prayer, and insights from psychology and neuroscience. This Lenten Programme will be graced with guided meditation, scripture, poetry, music, and spacious silence - preparing us for the miracle of Easter.
We will explore themes such as healing attachment wounds, befriending the shadow, forgiveness and letting go, and intergenerational healing—all within the sacred rhythm of rest and renewal. Here, you are invited to soften, to breathe, and to be held in the tender gaze of Divine Love.
We look forward to journeying with you through this sacred season.
