A Personal Retreat
(Half day)
A time out to consider a theme at a deeper level. Allowing
ourselves to become more aware of our soul and spirit within the context of our
Christian faith.
Jesus himself often went away on his own to begin to know
the will of His father.
Your retreat may well be on your own. You may be at home or have
chosen to go away for the day (whatever works for you). You may have chosen to
spend the day with others, sharing the experience and listening to how each
person feels about the retreat.
The files may be listened to directly from Soundcloud, or you may download them. You will need access to a device that can play MP3 files. If
this is a personal retreat, a tablet or even smartphone will suffice with head
phones.
In a group, you will need audio output to speakers, and you will
find it useful to print this document – one for each attendee.
It’s good to
have a few things around you (though not too much that you are overly
distracted).
Most
important is a notepad, pencil and rubber to capture a thought.
A bible is not essential, but you may feel you would like
one to hand.
Setting the scene: Some people like to create a space with a
candle or icon. If this is you, you might like to prepare something such as a
tea tray with a few items.
There are three points during the retreat time when you are
asked for an activity. This is often a walk, which enables reflection (thoughts
on what you have just heard). A physical activity is important, it helps the
body move and invigorates our mind and soul. However, this will depend upon
your mobility and your surroundings. Think of something that would work for
you, a change from sitting, notice how you are responding to the theme, write
down your thoughts and if you are with others today – share your thoughts and
feelings if you can.
The length of the retreat is very much down to the
individual (or group members). Each audio file is not long, and we suggest around forty minutes for each activity – though this is
your time, use it well.
Just follow the itinerary and let it guide you through your retreat.
Your feedback to us is always welcome, questions and
thoughts.
