Not without hope: a refuge on the Way of Grief. A retreat with Rev Richard Littledale
Friday 2nd – Sunday 4th February 2024
Grief is a tough journey, whether you are just embarking on it or a number of years into it. Think of this weekend as a ‘bothy’ or shelter along the way. It's a place to pause, to look back at the journey so far, and to draw strength for the miles to come. Join with Richard Littledale for times of prayer, reflection and learning as well as a couple of easy walks. There will be an opportunity to remember the one whom you have lost, but no obligation to do so. Come with honesty, faith, tears and doubts - all are welcome here!

Richard Littledale has been a Baptist Minister for 35 years, and now devotes his time to writing, broadcasting and speaking. In 2017 he lost his wife to cancer at the age of 53. Since then, he has written and spoken about bereavement in many contexts, including BBC Radio 4, helping to launch two national campaigns on grief and dying for Sue Ryder Cancer Care and delivering a lecture at the Houses of Parliament. His book, Postcards from the Land of Grief, has helped many along the Way of Grief.
Richard lives in North Wales with his lurcher, Ginny, for company.
He Restores my Soul: a retreat based on the 23rd Psalm
Friday 23rd – Sunday 25th February 2024
The 23rd Psalm has brought inspiration and comfort through the centuries. Its words continue to speak to us both in our times of joy and of struggle. This retreat provides the opportunity to explore and reflect on the Psalm in a variety of ways, including music, artwork, conversation and creativity. There will be times of silence and the opportunity for one-to-one conversation with a retreat leader. If you’ve never been on a retreat before this would be a good place to begin.
