SUMMARY:Gathered in Silence - a Quiet Day for Those Already Formed in Silence
DESCRIPTION:This retreat is designed specifically for established Christian meditators and contemplatives—those already accustomed to spending periods in silent prayer or meditative practice each day. \nIf silence is your home ground\, your place of nourishment and transformation\, this day offers a rare opportunity: extensive quiet held in the company of others\, deepening our sense of unity\, oneness\, and shared connection. \nThe day will be particularly useful for those who practise Centering Prayer or Christian Meditation (WCCM). \nTogether we will rest in the spacious silence that becomes possible when we gather with a shared intention of openness to the presence of God. \nOur retreat takes place aboard CYE’s vessel\, TS Resolute\, moored on the edge of Chichester Harbour—a location known for its thin-place quality. With its chapel\, quiet spaces\, and ever-changing waters\, the environment invites a natural attentiveness to the Divine within and around us. \nPractically…\n\nAccess to TS Resolute and the chapel requires use of a steep ramp and a flight of steps. Please ensure this is manageable for you before booking.\nNovember can be cold: please dress in layers; the ship may be cooler than a home environment. Please wear carpet slippers on Resolute.\nBring anything that supports your practice (journal\, rug\, cushion\, prayer stool).\nA simple lunch is provided\, hot drinks and water are available throughout the day. If you require gluten free and dairy free food please request in advance from CYE.\n\nBooking\nBooking via CYE Website: https://www.cye.org.uk/explore-book/event-calendar.

SUMMARY:We are called to live life!
DESCRIPTION:We are called to live ever more fully.  In his final poem entitled What Matters\, Fr Thomas Keating says: \nOnly the Divine matters\, \nAnd because the Divine matters\, \nEverything matters. \nThe Divine is present in all aspects of our lives. It’s the air we breathe\, and yet we forget. This weekend\, we are invited to enter a rhythm of silence\, reflection and rest\, and to be open to Divine Presence\, noticing its call and what gets in the way. \nThe retreat will weave together extended periods of Centering Prayer\, shared silence\, teachings from the Christian contemplative tradition\, optional 1:1 sessions\, and space for personal reflection and creativity. Whether you are a beginner establishing your Centering Prayer practice or returning to deepen it\, this retreat invites you to rest in the quiet ground of being — to be open to the Divine not through effort\, but through presence. \nJill Benet has been part of Contemplative Outreach for many years and studied under its founder\, Fr. Thomas Keating. She co-founded Silence in the City\, a series of talks exploring the contemplative life\, and has worked with teachers including Cynthia Bourgeault\, James Finley\, and Richard Rohr. She leads Centering Prayer groups\, Introductory Days\, Quiet Days\, and retreats. Jill is also a trained teacher and guide in Inner Relationship Focusing\, a practice of deep inner listening. She finds renewal in painting and nature. Her work is rooted in the belief that prayer and creativity are not separate from life — they are ways of living it more fully.
