Bookings Now Being Taken for ‘Retreat in the City’ at Christ Church Cathedral
Bookings are now being taken for Retreat in the City which takes place in Christ Church Cathedral and the nearby St Werburgh’s Church from February 15 to 17. The weekend Lenten retreat aims to give participants spiritual inspiration for their journeys and will be led by Ian Adams, Anglican priest and author of Cave, Refectory, Road.
Beginning on Friday evening, February 15 and continuing until after lunch on Sunday February 17, “Retreat in the City” will have a Lenten theme inspired by the monastics and spiritual writers of the past. Throughout the weekend, Ian Adams will lead sessions focusing on the season of Lent and what the monastics have to provide inspiration for the season as we journey towards Easter. There will also be time and space for personal reflection and spiritual directors will be available for retreatants to talk to. The whole weekend will be bound together by worship based on monastic offices.
The retreat is open to all. It is non residential and costs €85 which includes tea and coffee as well as lunch on February 16 and 17. For those visiting the city there are a number of reasonably priced hotels within a few minutes’ walk of the cathedral.
