RETREATS & QUIET DAYS

Deeper Still Retreats and Quiet Days are ecumenical days created and delivered by Ruth in Churches, Christian organisations and retreat centres. We have seen an increase of stress and anxiety in everyday life and at times it can become overwhelming. Our retreats and quiet days provide the opportunity to spend quiet time with God, seeking deeper intimacy with Him whilst discovering His plan for your life

During our Retreats & Quiet Days silent prayer time will be afforded and personal ministry time will be provided if required. For all mosaic retreats no practical experience is required and all necessary tools will be provided.

DEEPER STILL

Deeper Still Retreats and Quiet Days provide you space to go deeper into Gods presence, that we may know Him. It is Gods will that we grow in the knowledge of His love and experience it as we grow in an intimate way with Him.

Towards Deeper Intimacy with God

This quiet day looks at cultivating a hunger for God, journeying with God in companionship and learning to commune with Him and hear His voice. We look at spiritual formation and how we grow in intimacy with our Creator, allowing Him to transform our lives as we trust and depend on Him. We also have the opportunity to look at areas in our own lives that could hinder a deeper relationship with God.

Topics will include Solitude, Stillness, Silence, Space, Time, Creativity, Prayer of the heart. Reflecting on God, Creation and Scripture.

Listening to God

Today, prayer means communicating with God. However, we don’t always listen to God and are often confused or bewildered by what He is saying to us. As children of God, He wants us to have a two way relationship with Him, so that we may hear His voice and follow is leading. This quiet day will teach you how to hear His voice and learn the different ways in which He communicates

Praying the Scriptures

Praying the Scriptures is a quiet day that allows us to commune with God using His word as a basis for the conversation. The course will look at several ancient methods which will include pondering scripture and praying it back to God also includes creatively entering the narrative.
