CMH:I Advent Day Retreat 2026

Resting in the Shadows: Finding Peace in Advent Darkness. Join Lydia and Catherine for a gentle pause to prepare us for Advent and Christmas. Step away from the noise and rest. Explore the layered meanings of rest, shadows, waiting, peace and new life emerging from darkness through contemplative prayer, scripture, poetry and story. On arrival there will be hot drinks and scones, and lunch will be provided in the CITI canteen (dietary requirements can be catered for). We have limited places available, due to room size, so don't wait too long to book! There is a sliding scale for pricing, based on your own circumstances. Please note, that if you can't afford to pay, you can contact us and we will book you in, no questions asked. contact: [email protected]. 'Keep me as the apple of your eye; Hide me in the shadow of your wings.'
