Quiet Friday Day Retreat
Peace is Every Step - a walking retreat led by Eddie Gilmore
£230.00 per person based on full board, single occupancy
- 11th - 13th June 2027
During the retreat, there will be opportunities to walk together, spend time in silence, reflect on Scripture and creation, share conversation, and enjoy the peace and rhythm of the monastic setting.
The title of the retreat is inspired by the book The Long Road Turns to Joy: A Guide to Walking Meditation by the Vietnamese monk and poet Thich Nhat Hanh, who encouraged us to "walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet." His invitation to walk mindfully offers a gentle way of becoming more attentive to God's presence, to the beauty of the natural world, and to the sacredness of each step.
Whether you are an experienced walker or simply enjoy being outdoors, this retreat offers a chance to renew body, mind and spirit through prayer, companionship and unhurried time in the landscape surrounding the Abbey.
Please note parts of the walk will be on uneven ground and through wooded areas. Sturdy footwear recommended.
