This retreat is for those between the ages of around 35 to 55 who are entering, in the midst of, or emerging from mid-life. We’ll make sense of what happens in this key period of life, working with psychological and spiritual writers in a safe and prayerful space of sharing, reflection and learning. Bring yourself, wherever you are in the transition and be open to what God might be up to. 
We will use a tried and tested framework for how transitions happen in general and mid-life in particular, we will dwell in a pertinent bible text several times and there will be a mixture of short talks, group interaction and reflective personal space. For those who wish (while we have capacity) there will be an opportunity to meet with a spiritual director from the Sarum Team for 30-40 minutes. 

Nigel has been a spiritual director for over fifteen years and has published on the subject of direction in “Soul Friendship” – and on transitions in a book called “Crossing Thresholds”. He has a portfolio of roles beyond tutoring at Sarum College from being an Associate Priest, to a Journal Editor and consultant in church development. His most significant transition was going to work in the Anglican Church of Tanzania for seven years with his family in the 1990s. 

A package deal is available to attend both this event and the Navigating Life Transitions: A 24hr Retreat course with Nigel Rooms taking place on 21-22 September, with B&B included throughout. Please go to Integration Through Life Transitions Retreat Package further information.
