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.

Practising His Presence

Practising His presence looks at Christian reflection and abiding in God’s presence.This is a quiet day where you learn a variety of ancient styles on drawing closer to 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.

Writing from the Heart

‘Writing from the Heart’ is a practical quiet day where participants learn the skills of listening and hearing from God through the artistic tool of writing and journaling.During the day we will explore various ways that empower us to write from the heart of God.

Without Words

Without Words is a quiet day focused on resting in God. It is based on the scripture ‘Be Still and Know I am God’, it is an intimate time when we draw away from the hustle of everyday life and spend a day focused on meditating on scripture in silent private reflection and stillness. The day begins with group prayer and scripture reading followed by periods of solitude and silence.

BREAKING FREE

Breaking Free is a Christian creative retreat, encouraging people to connect with God in a creative way, whilst opening the doors to personal freedom.

Broken Pieces

‘Broken Pieces’ is a creative quiet day, It has been produced as a foundation for our ‘Turning Broken Pieces into Treasures’ programme as set out below. Participants will be introduced to Mosaic Art, whilst incorporating prayer and listening to God.

Turning Broken Pieces into Treasures

‘Turning Broken Pieces into Treasures’ builds on the experience of our ‘Broken Pieces’ quiet day, taking each participant to a place where they can identify areas of inner struggle through the creative art process. Participants will be able to gain further skills in the making of mosaics and using the process as a path to finding a deeper sense of God over 3 days. Areas being explored include brokenness, personal hurts, insignificance, rejection, forgiveness and our personal journey with God.

Breaking Free

‘Breaking Free’ retreat parallels with our ‘Turning Broken Pieces into Treasures’ but the creation of mosaics is replaced with the formulation of an individual personal art or written journal.
