# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Word was made flesh: Contemplation and the Alexander Technique
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 30 Jul, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Sun, 02 Aug, 2026 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Led by Margaret Meehan 

Jesus says that if we keep his word, then he will make his home in us. This retreat explores the incarnational aspects of our daily lives through prayer and the Alexander Technique. The Alexander Technique is holistic and allows us to release extra tension so that we can become more present in the moment, not only in stillness but also in action. The main principles of the technique will be taught. Natural breathing and the use of the breath to symbolise the Holy Spirit will be explored. We will also touch on maintaining spiritual poise when transitioning from contemplation to movement.

Please be aware that teaching Alexander Technique involves the use of a light hand contact by the teacher. 

Arrive in time for supper at 7pm on Thursday and depart by 3pm on Sunday. 

Cost:

Standard: £360

En-suite: £390

From her early years, Margaret has talked to (and sometimes shouted at) God. This informal communication developed into meditation and led, over years in a monastic environment, to contemplation. This was followed by work in the field of science and then Special Educational Needs in Higher Education while she explored the practice of Christian Zen meditation or, simply, sitting with God. Before retirement, Margaret trained and qualified as a teacher of the Alexander Technique (MSTAT) which she uses, in conjunction with prayer, to integrate body, mind and spirit. Margaret holds a PhD in Chemistry and an AMBDA FE/HE and is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
