‘The world is charged with the grandeur of God’  

- Gerard Manley Hopkins SJ

This Sunday afternoon walk will offer the opportunity to experience the words of the Jesuit poet first hand as we walk through the beautiful countryside around Hyning Monastery. This retreat is for those who love a good walk (and are able to walk around 5 miles) with fine views - which inevitably involves some gentle hills!

There will be time to chat and time to be silent. There will be stops along the way for guided prayer to help you to take stock of what is happening in your daily life, to talk to God about these things and return home refreshed. The guided prayers will be drawn from the Ignatian tradition, which invites an encounter with God who is found in all things and a deeper relationship with Jesus who walks alongside us.

Led by the Jesuit Institute: Sarah Young, Stephen Hoyland & JI Companion Ginny Newsham
