A weekend retreat on Teresa of Avila’s The Interior Castle:
The Radiant Sanctuary
‘There is a secret place. A radiant sanctuary. This refuge is within you’
Art work by Mary Flitcroft ©’Still Waters’, porcelain with stains and lustres
Join Mary Flitcroft, for a weekend exploring some of Theresa of Avila’s writings on her metaphor of The Interior Castle.
We will spend time reflecting together on Theresa’s insights and how they are relevant to our own spiritual journey and varying contexts. The weekend will include periods of quiet and private reflection and simple worship.
‘Slip away.
Close your eyes and follow your breath
to the still place that leads to the invisible path that leads you home.
Listen.
Softly the One you love is calling.
Listen’
From Mirabai Starr’s rendition of The Interior Castle by St Teresa of Avila
