Calling us to silence and stillness, this contemplative (guided) retreat, beginning evening of 23rd February and concluding with breakfast on 2nd March 2025, we are invited into the deep embrace of the Trinity to experience the Hospitality of God. Over these days we will contemplate the Rublev icon, finding ourselves being drawn within… for Henri Nouwen notes: the more we look at this holy image with the eyes of faith, the more we come to realise that it is painted… as a holy place to enter and stay within.
The early 15th century Russian iconographer, Andrei Rublev provides a beautiful depiction of the Trinity inviting us into the circle dance of Divine Love. Over these days we will explore the many invitations of this icon calling us into the very Heart of God to experience the Divine Embrace and take that love into our everyday life.

This retreat allows us to dip into what we are awaiting, our deepest longing, God-with-us. Attending to our universal guest, we discover ever more deeply the guidance wisdom and faithfulness of the ‘God-with-us’ in the ups and downs of our everyday reality. God incarnate calls us ever more deeply into like every second of every day.
