Spiritual Direction Formation Programme 2024-2026

The Spiritual Direction Formation Programme (Carmelite Tradition) builds on an interpretation of the experience of journeying towards intimacy with God as expressed in the life of the Carmelite saints and deriving principles from this for the growth and flourishing of the spiritual life. The programme, therefore, has its foundation in the spirituality of the Carmelite tradition.

Advent Weekend Retreat
15-17 December 2023
UK BASED EVENT
During this Advent residential weekend retreat we will reflect and pray with the pregnant Virgin Mother of God, awaiting the birth of her child. How this birth fulfils the prophetic and messianic longing of the ancient Hebrews and our own deepest longings will be explored. This retreat will invite us to enter into mystery of the waiting and expectancy of Advent in order to experience in a new way the power and promise of the Incarnation of the Word of God.
