Community Days, Retreats
& Online Events
Finding Sanctuary | Wellington/ Kapiti Community Day
This community day is based on the book Finding Sanctuary: Monastic Steps for Everyday Life by Abbot Christopher Jamison of Worth Abbey, written after the unexpected popularity of the BBC TV series. All are welcome, both experienced meditators and those new to Christian meditation.
The Unseen God | Waikato & Bay of Plenty Community Day
We will be exploring the theme of The Unseen God - a reflection on Psalm 77. What difference does meditation bring to ourselves and those around us? How do we, as meditators, respond to what is happening in the world at present? We will hear from the wisdom of WCCM, Richard Rohr's Centre for Action and Contemplation and others, and will explore what we can individually do for ourselves and those around us during these uncertain times.
Celtic Spirituality Weekend Retreat
Over these days of retreat, you will be introduced to some riches offered by Celtic Christianity. We will begin by stepping over the threshold. Enter into silence and solitude, consider the breadth of soul friendship, and approach the presence of God. For each of these themes there will be suggestions for personal reflection or future engagement.
Contemplating with Creation | Wellington Community Day
Join us for this community day at Home of Compassion in Island Bay, as we contemplate with creation. All are welcome, both experienced meditators and those new to Christian meditation.
Seven Day Silent Retreat
A retreat is being held at Magnificat in the Wairarapa, 30 Nov – 7 Dec 2025. Currently the plan is for this retreat to be peer led. However, if there is sufficient interest from those who are new to a seven day retreat, the retreat will become an Intensive retreat which includes teaching and one-on-one spiritual companioning each day (rather than the group session in the evening).
