Wellspring

Come find peace and rest before the season of Advent. Our one day retreat, Wellspring, is a little oasis amidst the busyness of life where you can be nurtured in silence, invited to engage with healing prayer, Scripture and mindfulness.

There will be time to walk outside; to participate in guided reflections; to avail of one-to-one discussion with a spiritual director; or just take time to relax and read.

During the day you are invited to engage with God in a very personal way, allowing Him to love you in the way you need the most at this time in your life. 

The facilitators for the day are Dr Iva Beranek and Carol Casey. Suggested donation to CMH:I is €25. Please bring your own sandwich for lunch and we will provide tea and coffee. The retreat starts at 9.30am and finishes at 4.00pm.
