Navigating Life Transitions: A 24hr Retreat course
Are you in transition? Moving house, country or job? Children have just arrived or have all just left? All transition and change is painful and involves losses and gains. In this retreat we share our experiences in a safe space and discover resources for finding new life in what is to come. Bring yourself, wherever you are in transition and be open to what God might be up to.
We will use a tried and tested framework for how transitions happen, 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 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.
