Stilla dag i Ängatorp
2024-04-15 09:30 - 15:30, 2024-05-07 09:30 - 15:30, 2024-05-08 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 handberöring 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.

Seasonal Quiet Garden Day
2024-04-16 10:00 - 16:00 | The Bield at Blackruthven, Perth, Perth & Kinross, Scotland, PH1 1PY, United Kingdom
The Bield has been a member of the Quiet Garden Movement for 20 years, one of more than 250.
Quiet Gardens across the world . We nurture access to outdoor spaces for prayer, reflection and creativity. We are blessed to have a wide variety of such spaces at the Bield. This year we will highlight the Quiet Garden Movement with seasonal programme days and will donate part of the income to the Quiet Garden Organisation.
Each Quiet day will begin with hot drinks and a tour round our delightful walled garden. Our garden team, Pamela Grossi and Jillian Gibson will help you discover the gifts and surprises of the season. They will also be available later to answer any questions you may have about gardening.
There will be a time of guided meditation and reflection to consider how the Season speaks to our spirits . For those who wish this will be followed by a period of silence before lunch, time to further explore the garden and its impact on you.
Lunch consists of an attractive variety of salads and potatoes or soup with as much Blackruthven produce as possible.
In the afternoon you will have the opportunity to work creatively with what the season offers. Alternatively, you can spend this time exploring the riches of the art space or enjoy discovering more of the Bield gardens.
We will finish the day with a time of prayer in the Chapel and a hot drink with home-baking

Grief Quiet Day
2024-04-20 09:30 - 16:00 | Treargel Retreat, Hendersick Farm,, Looe, Cornwall, PL13 2HZ, United Kingdom
Dealing with loss can be a difficult and lonely experience. What do you do with these feelings and how can you make progress with your own life after such a devastating trauma? It helps to talk with those who have gone through the same pain, in a safe place where you can share your story and hear how others are working their way through the grief. We provide the space, alongside people who know what it’s like to lose someone you love. Through a series of short, gentle sessions over a day, you can mould and be with clay, walk in nature, and talk about the sadness that comes with bereavement. It won’t fill the void, but could mark the first steps towards the next stage of life.
