SIX-DAYS OF QUIET AND MEDITATION

View of Garden at Glencomeragh Retreat Centre

This Summer I will be leading two six-day meditation programmes, both based on my book The Art of Allowing. These retreats will be an occasion for relaxing and meditating in beautiful surroundings. An atmosphere of silence is encouraged. And because the group will not be too big, there will be opportunities for individual guidance on the breath and meditation.
People who have done these retreats in the past have made comments like, “It made me aware that breathing is natural and does not need any effort on my part”; and, “The actual process of letting the breathing just be is symbolic for me of how life can be if I just trust that God is with me”.

There are two of these residential retreats:

MEDITATION DAY IN COUNTY KILKENNY

Next Saturday, January 22, I will be offering a guided meditation retreat based on at the Integritas Centre in County Kilkenny. Participants will be helped to become more deeply aware of the ways in which the breath moves within them and to recognize and respond to the particular difficulties they may encounter in breathing – and to experience where all of this leads us spiritually.
To book, contact Integritas, Ennisnag, Stoneyford, Co. Kilkenny. Tel 056-7728902; Fax 056-7728903; email: patrickrtreacy@eircom.net; http://www.integritas.ie
