Community for Spiritual Formation five-day retreat - July 2026

Dear friends,

We are beginning 2026 as a world at war, with the threat of more war. In our own country we live in a society which seems to encourage polarisation and exclusion. How should we respond as people of faith?

The Community for Spiritual Formation is holding a five-day retreat in July 2026. The theme is 'Practising Peace - how can we live as peace-makers in a disordered world?' The retreat follows a Benedictine rhythm of worship, teaching, silence and response - with time for eating together and having fun together too. The speakers are Barbara Glasson and Steve Radley, and there will be opportunities for community weaving as a response to our theme. There are 50 places available, and 32 have already been booked. If you'd like to know more, and possibly to book one of the remaining places, please visit our website at this link.
