Full Moon in Sagittarius Flower Moon Soul Circle with Meditation

A beautiful hour of connection, guidance and fun! Join together with other like minded women, to feel held supported and seen.

Creative and Courageous Conversation about Spiritual Direction in the 21st Century.  In this conversation, we will be pondering  What language can we use to confidently communicate what we offer in fresh and relevant ways? Naomi Gates will be leading this discussion.  

Life is hectic. Finding time out feels almost impossible. We want to pray, we want to reflect, but when we do find a snatched moment to ourselves, we remain distracted. I've designed this space to help you reconnect with your breath, to gently stretch your body, and to listen... to the voice of your inner wisdom, and to the voice of your Beloved.  We will meditate with scripture, we will journal, we will use creative means to listen to the Spirit. We will sit with Love. I hope you will come away feeling centred, refreshed and assured of your belovedness. 90 minutes, on Zoom. "Come away with me to a quiet place" Past Participants are Saying: "A really well led session allowing time for reflection and prayer." - Ellie Mini-Retreats are hosted by Lissy Clarke, Spiritual Director, Yoga Teacher and the voice behind the meditations at Contemplative at Home. 

WHAT TYPE OF GROUP IS THIS? I provide healing to clients in a group, hosted in my studio in St Neots. These sessions were originally started in 2014, and ran for several years. I have decided to offer them again, as I feel that people need support in general. The healing rebalances the heart chakra, helps a person to feel grounded and safe, and releases tension and anxiety. These healing protocols are a small part of the full advanced frequency healing modality. Clients receive the healing seated, rather than laying flat on a couch.  This helps me to see the areas that require attention.  I have space for 4 clients in each session. This currently runs on a Sunday morning, starting at 11.00am and lasting approximately 60-90 minutes.  It is important that you wear comfortable clothing, in layers to allow for the change of temperature in my studio.  Please bring water to drink.  I have toilet facilities and parking is unrestricted along my street, though I do ask that you respect my neighbours by parking safely and keeping noise to a minimum. For you to join I will require your full name, date of birth and email.  This helps me to tune into your energy system and also send you any further information if necessary.  All your personal information is completely confidential and never shared without your permission. You can book in advance and pay online, or pay cash on the day, though I will need to speak to you if you have not attended before.   IMPORTANT INFORMATION * If you prefer to pay by cash, you can book by ringing me.  Please bring the right amount with you and please book in at least 3 days before the day you wish to attend.  * If you have booked by phone and are unable to attend, please let me know immediately so I can offer a space to someone else.  It is very important that you let me know whether you can attend or not because it helps me to run my business effectively and means that you are acting in a consistent and honest way.  * If you have booked online and cannot attend I will move you to the next session, or you can offer your slot to someone else, or I can run the session on you by distance.

Training Trainers of Spiritual Directors Developing the abilities needed to facilitate Spiritual Direction formation programmes

A Retreat in Daily Life is a way to find something of what you might experience on a residential retreat, with the difference being that you are at home, and the prayer experience is woven into the rhythm of your ordinary life.  The Contemplative at Home Retreat in Daily Life involves two components: * Six days per week : Thirty to Forty-five minutes of daily personal prayer, with suggested meditations and reflection questions. * One day per week : A two-hour Zoom call, to share with other pilgrims who are on retreat with you. Lissy hosts these sessions in a group spiritual direction format.  Who is this for? This retreat is suitable for anyone who has (or has had) some kind of practice of Christian prayer, and is ready to explore a bit more of their faith, their prayer life or their relationship with God.  This might be for you if you * Would like to explore the contemplative prayer traditions of the Christian faith * Are ready for something deeper in your relationship with God * Hope to find God in new ways * Would like some structure and support to help you reinstate a habit of daily prayer * Would like to go away on retreat, but are unable to at the moment * Enjoy Contemplative at Home meditations and want to connect with others who do as well Prayer Material Meditations from the Contemplative at Home archives are suggested for five days of the week, with an Examen or review practice on the sixth day of the week. Each week follows a slightly different theme. Week One: Introduction to Contemplative Prayer / Establishing your Routine Week Two: Lectio Divina / Listening to Scripture Week Three: Imaginative Contemplation / Encoutering Jesus  Week Four: Praying with the Psalms / My Life in God Prompts for reflection are also provided. Most of the meditations are around twenty minutes in length, with a suggested 15 minutes after the audio meditation for journalling or reflecting on your prayer experience.  Further Details and Commitment The times listed on the sign up link above reflect the time for the group calls. Please be aware of your local time zone. I work in the UK and times may be listed for GMT.   There will be one call before the retreat begins, and one at the end of each week, for a total of 5 calls.  There will be a maximum of six participants in the group. Please check that you are able to attend all of the group sessions before you apply. The daily prayer can be done at any time that suits you but, if you don't already have a 30-45 minute window of time devoted to prayer each day, do take some time to think about when you might fit it in, for example: will you wake up earlier? Will you do it at lunch time? in the evening? How realistic is this?  Is there a place in your house where you could sit to pray? Will those you share space with will be able to respect your commitment to the retreat? This won't be for everyone, but for those who are drawn to take part in this prayer experience, I have no doubt that it will be a positive and enriching time. I am really looking forward to sharing this space with you.
