A weekend in Bristol for spiritual searchers will take place at Emmaus House, Clifton from 3 - 5 August, 2007. The weekend, open to single women & men between the ages of 20 - 40, invites participants to join a team from four different international religious congregations from around the country to review steps already taken and to consider steps forward on their way to God.
The team, composed of Liz Shaw, Sister of La Retraite based at Emmaus House, Anne McLoughlin, Sister of St. Paul, Michele Totman, Sister of La Sainte Union, and Dave Nixon, Missionary of the Sacred Heart, will offer a varied programme of group input, sharing, celebration and socialising, as well as individual time for personal space and reflection.
"It's really important that people bring to the weekend their own questions and concerns. We will provide the necessary space and means to take these further" says Sr. Liz, adding that Emmaus House, with its varied prayer places, beautiful gardens and reputation for good food is an excellent venue for this type of weekend.
"The weekend is an excellent opportunity to take time out from one's daily routine and to consider 'where next?', or 'what am I doing with my life?’, or asking 'how can I see God's call to me more clearly?'. Sometimes it can be really helpful to explore questions like these with others rather than just carrying them on one's own", says Sr. Michele.
At £70 the weekend is a terrific bargain! Registration will take place between 5 - 6 p.m on Friday 3 August. The weekend begins with supper at 6.30 p.m and ends with lunch on Sunday.
