The Way of Peace: The Art of Meditation
A retreat is more than a holiday. It is a time to recover the art of being. Often we take
holidays because we feel exhausted by the stress of over-doing, trying to achieve
too much too quickly. Holidays can help us to relax. But they do not always lead us
back to the balance and inner harmony which is the secret of true happiness and
the ability to be really present to others in love.
Meditation, the prayer of the heart, practices the art of being. The way to find this
balance and to deepen it until it leads us into the peace that is “beyond
understanding” is a simple and simplifying spiritual path, a way of “being with
God”.
In this 3 day retreat Fr Laurence Freeman OSB, a Benedictine monk and teacher of
meditation in the Christian tradition will lead us on the way of peace. The retreat will
be held in a spirit of silence. Each day there will be two talks by Fr Laurence, periods
of meditation in common, a contemplative Eucharist and also time for spiritual
friendship.
For those who wish to integrate the retreat into a holiday, before or after, the setting
of the hotel near the ocean offers an ideal environment. The retreat will offer an
introduction to meditation for beginners as well as the opportunity to deepen their
practice for those already on the way.
