This retreat allows us to dip into what we are awaiting, our deepest longing, God-with-us.

Attending to our universal guest, we discover ever more deeply the guidance wisdom and faithfulness of the ‘God-with-us’ in the ups and downs of our everyday reality.

God incarnate calls us ever more deeply into like every second of every day.

Through the silence of this retreat, we are invited into the embrace of the Trinity and experience the Hospitality of God. Over these days we will contemplate the Rublev Icon. Henry Nouwen says: the more we look at this holy image with the eyes of faith, the more we come to realise that it is painted not as a lovely decoration for a convent church, nor as a helpful explanation for a difficult doctrine, but as a holy place to enter and stay within.
