Retreat-Holidays
Brittany: Programme
On the Edge
"Between land and sea"
- for anyone in an in-between place,
trying to cope
with tensions and transitions in their lives
Retreat leader:
Dr Stephanie Rybak
Director of Retreat-Holidays
We'll have a brief input session each morning, suggesting some thoughts for the day and Bible texts which relate in some way to that day’s activities. In the evening, there will be another short session which will offer the opportunity to reflect on the day and to spend some time in prayer together.
There is also prayer and worship going on in the house chapel through much of the day (either in French or in silence) and we are free to join in or not, as we wish.
