A two – day Retreat and Spiritual Enquiry

In this retreat we will be exploring what is perhaps one of our deepest human needs – a soul friend. A good friend with whom we can be wholly and unguardedly ourselves, sharing the adventure of our spiritual journey with all its ups and downs, helping us to stay true, connected to ourselves, to God and to one another. In this retreat we will explore together a true soul connection: what is it, do we want it, how do we find a stay in it? The enquiry will be entirely personal, firmly grounded in the reality of our own experience, yet drawing on ancient wisdom.

Chris is the founder of Crossroads Retreats and has been running contemplative retreats and pilgrimages for over 25 years – for people from all walks of life and diverse Faith backgrounds. He is a Spiritual Director and leadership coach and teaches Spiritual Direction on the Spiritual Formation Programme at Waverley Abbey. He is a lay Benedictine and his particular interest is in the practice of ‘Presencing’ as a way of being more available and attentive to the deeper Wisdom and flow of Life.

Jenny has devoted her life to empowering Christian people to receive vision for their lives – as a teacher, speaker, Retreat Leader and Spiritual Director. Through the auspices of Eaglesinflight, she leads conferences, retreats and seminars in the UK, Europe and Africa. Jenny has researched and written extensively on the ancient wisdom paths in the Christian tradition. Her desire is for greater intimacy with God and to help others to a deeper friendship with Jesus and one another in the power of the Holy Spirit, in order to hear and see the purposes of God.

You're In Safe Hands

During the retreat you’ll be guided through a process that has proven itself over 15 years with hundreds of people from all walks of life.

Trained guides will lead you through and will be available to offer support over the two days.

We typically have only 8 people on a retreat, with 2 guides, so you are guaranteed the level of personal attention you need.

What You'll Get Out Of It

Our aim is that you make good choices at your current crossroads and have more confidence in handling such situations in the future.

People always leave our retreats with a renewed sense of inner calm, confidence, clarity and purpose. You will be much clearer on your own sense of direction in life and what your next steps will be. You will have a much stronger sense of who you are and what really matters to you as a basis for making future decisions.

People also really enjoy the centering practices that we teach on the retreat simple methods for grounding and stilling yourself so that you are much less distracted by all the ‘noise’ of life today.
