On retreat

Some of you will know that I went on an 8-day silent retreat at a place called St Beunos in North Wales after Easter. It’s a Jesuit Spirituality Centre and I’ve been there several times before. Some people have said to me ‘do you really stay silent for 8 whole days? What about meal times? Can’t you even say ‘Hallo’ to people?’ So I thought this month I’d write a little bit about going on retreat. My experience of course may not be yours – retreats, and certainly silent ones, don’t suit everyone! Neither would I suggest trying an 8-day retreat without ‘trying it out’ on a shorter one first. But I find them a helpful way of stepping back and allowing space for God to touch deep within, thus equipping me to love and serve others more fully. So what’s it like ‘on retreat’?

"Have a break, have a…"

If you remember the advert, the obvious words to go in at the end of the heading to this letter are ‘Kit-Kat’. I wonder, in passing, how many of us actually ever did have Kit-Kats in our breaks? But whatever we have - maybe just a cuppa, or a little afternoon nap – we probably all recognise the need for a break during the day. Much as we’d sometimes like to, we just can’t keep going non-stop, can we? We can try – and sometimes we have to if we’re really busy. Maybe we’re baby sitting for our grandchildren, or travelling to meetings, or trying to juggle shopping with work and child-care. But if we try going non-stop for too many consecutive days, we get exhausted. Our bodies, and, I suggest, our minds, simply run out of steam. We may get headaches, feel sick or become irritable. Everything inside screams ‘Stop!’
