The toilet and kitchen will be OPEN and refreshments provided throughout the day but the idea is to be Quiet and spend time sitting/walking around this beautiful church and garden. Reflecting,praying or just having some peace and quiet for yourself.

There will be 7 prayer stations set up inside the church and outside in the garden to help and guide you if you wish to use them.

Stilla dag
2025-05-20 09:30 - 15:30, 2025-04-28 09:30 - 15:30 | Angatorp Quiet Garden, Angatorp, Gard 3 Alingsas, Angatorp, 441 92, Sweden
Välkommen att tillbringa en dag med
”smak av retreat” i Ängatorp!
Jag inbjuder dig som känner en längtan efter att vara i stillhet och bön tillsammans med andra.
Retreatens gåva är att i en avskild miljö, i tyst gemenskap med andra, få tid att tänka och be,
för att få komma ifatt sig själv och lyssna in Gud.
I den tid vi lever, är det så mycket som kallar på vår uppmärksamhet så det kan vara svårt
att urskilja vad vi djupast vill och ha tid att anförtro det åt Gud.
Det är då en stilla dag kan göra oss så gott.
Vi inleder med introduktion, fm-fika och morgonbön kl 9.30.
Då får du också med dig en bibelmeditation eller ”andlig övning”
som du kan använda dig av under dagen.
Därefter har du egen tid då du kan välja att t.ex
➢ vara i trädgården, kanske sitta i lusthuset eller annan plats om vädret är lämpligt.
➢ ta en promenad i omgivningarna vid Säveån.
➢ söka upp en plats inne för att be, meditera eller läsa. Det finns gott om böcker att låna!
➢ vila i ett av gästrummen.
➢ ta emot taktil beröring av leg. sjuksköterska Carita Eriksson.
➢ boka dig för enskilt samtal med Karin Engstrand, diakon.
Kl 12 samlas vi för middagsbön och därefter äter vi lunch tillsammans under musik.
Dagen avslutas kl 15.30 med em.fika då vi bryter tystnaden efter en stund.
