Virtual retreats with a specific theme

On line Bonnevaux Residency 
 Attention in Common
​with Alan Wallace, 15th-17th September, from Bonnevaux
Wallace questions the polarisation of Buddhism as a rejection God and of Christianity as a dependency on God created in the human image. Instead, he has found a point of convergence without confusion that liberates modern seekers from their conditioning without making them break with their roots. His theme will identify essential elements of universal wisdom and unified consciousness in straightforward and practical ways. He will speculate on the changing shape of religion & spiritual consciousness and how this gives promise and hope for a less self-destructive & self-centred world.
​Cost: £90
On line, experiential Retreat Day 
 Signposts of Love: Authenticity & Meditation
​with John Siddique, Saturday 12th November, 10.30am-4pm
The profound question of how to meet and express our lives and  be part of the world with greater meaning is a seemingly eternal one. During this day retreat with spiritual teacher and author John Siddique we will work with and practice highly accessible ways of meeting & knowing God in the ordinariness of our daily lives.
Cost: £25
Self-paces, Lenten type retreat: videos & yoga
Nothing to Fear About Being Free
with 5 talks from Laurence Freeman 
This retreat offers time for a spiritual check-up. It includes teaching from Fr. Laurence and yoga sessions with Giovanni Fellicioni. Fr. Laurence explores the positive side of asceticism and why there is nothing to fear about allowing ourselves to be free. He will also suggest practical ways of making Lent and other penitential times ones for releasing joy, energy and hope.
Cost: $60 dollars
Self-paced, ANYTIME retreat
Integral Light Shining in the Dark
with Cynthia Bourgeault
Over 15 hours of Cynthia’s 10 teaching sessions, five Gurdjieff contemplative practices and a short introductory overview of each session offer a deep dive into the profoundly Christian and incarnational mysticism at the root of Jean Gebser’s Integral Evolutionary theory. Bourgeault explores some of Gebser’s core ideas around time, transparency, spiritual generativity and “intensification of the present” and considers how the practical, attention-based “exercises” developed by Gurdjieff can offer us a way forward in our own uncertain times.
Cost: €50 (c. £38)
