‘An intimate sharing between friends…’

Led by Audrey Hamilton

Such was the simple, yet profound, description of prayer given to us by St Teresa of Avila. A warm, friendly and engaging personality, and the first woman to be declared a Doctor of the Church, in September 1970, she is the great teacher on prayer.

Join us as we learn from her writings and example how it is ‘important not to think much but to love much’ and to entrust everything to the One whom she knows dwells within us and delights in us. We will learn that prayer is not complicated but an exercise in love and friendship, embracing both the contemplative and apostolic dimensions of life.

Starts at 10am and finishes at 4pm. Please bring a packed lunch.

Cost: £35

Including B&B (Fri – Sat): £100
