The Cup of our Life: Mon 2 - Thurs 5 Sept

This message was added on 2024-08-07

 

Using themes and daily practices from Joyce Rupp`s book `The Cup of our Life: A guide to spiritual growth`, we invite you to focus on spiritual awareness and growth through the imagery of ordinary cups that are used in everyday life. This well known book has accompanied a wide range of people on their spiritual journeying and the retreat will be of benefit to those seeking to revitalise and enrich their experience of the Divine. We hope that the retreat is a cup of blessing filled to the brim for all who come with open minds and hearts.

Retreat ledaers Richard and Storm Hann, enjoyed an enormous "Cup of Blessing" serving God through Penhurst Retreat Centre and the wonderful people who they learnt so much from, for 15 years. After a season looking after elderly family members with dementia they now live in Llaniltud Fawr (Llantwit Major) in South Wales - a town with a strong sense of identity, community and a Christian heritage going back over 1500 years and grounded in teaching and outreach. They have no dogs, no cats, but are nurturing two tiny newts who have found their way into their freshly dug pond. Their desire is to help others to connect with God in deep, profound and life changing way. Both Richard and Storm are trained in debriefing and have met with Christian workers from all over the world on a regular basis. They have a listening ministry and they love relating with and encouraging others no matter where they are on their faith journey - whether they are resolutely standing behind the starting blocks as far as the Christian faith is concerned, sporting a few blisters but hobbling on, or flexing their spiritual muscles and looking forward to the next steep climb. In what now feels like a previous existence, Richard was a primary school teacher and Storm was a speech and language therapist.
