Liz Watson will lead an Intensive Silent Meditation Retreat in Bonnevaux with the title Allowing God to Be Free, from 27 January to 4 February 2024.Â
In this short video, she explains in simple terms what one can expect from a silent meditation retreat and more specifically from this retreat in January.Â
What if we make a decision to leave behind our usual activity altogether for a week?

I was struck by a phrase in John Main "Allowing God to be free" and that's what we do when we decide to make this silent, silent week. We're in a way allowing God to be God.

You could think of the days we spend together in this retreat as an experience of deeper silence and solitude in closer community. Â The whole retreat is conducted in silence, sustained by a stable daily rhythm in common. The scaffolding of each day is provided by eight periods of meditation. The silence is only broken by a talk from the retreat leader, a 15 minute meeting with a mentor and a contemplative Eucharist each day.
