This will be a gathering with a difference and our invitation is to you all.

Along with some of the most marginalised adults from Teesside including  Saltburn Recovery group and North East Opera, we will gather to learn from and listen to each other; sharing our stories, meditating and eating together. There will be singing workshops, Tai Chi sessions, Capacitar training and guided walks around the grounds. We will be exploring what it means to become marginalised and how meditation can support us to find our common humanity.  

Starting at 11 am on Monday 2 June, the schedule of meals and workshops will be woven around the rhythm of the prayers at the Abbey. We will end at 5.00 pm on Wednesday 4 June. 

Our accommodation will be in the newly-renovated retreat rooms at the Abbey- either single or double (twin beds). 

We invite you to experience the Joy of Encounter and to learn, as John Main said: Meditation creates community. 

We really look forward to spending this time together.  

BOOKING AVAILABLE SOON. Please contact Kate@wccm.org with any enquiries.NEO
