Unique to the Celtic lands was the ancient monks’ use of small hand bells, many of which have – astonishingly – survived into our time, largely due to the reverence with which they were held. Through stories of miraculous bells and a modern replica, we will listen for what is stirring within and what might call us to attentiveness. Prayers in Celtic languages, including Old Irish and modern Scots Gaelic, will also tune our ears to sounds that would have been familiar to our spiritual forebears from Celtic lands.

In this retreat you will experience:

• Celtic Stories.
• Guided imagery.
• Exploration of some of the key themes common to both pre-Christian and Christian Celtic spirituality.
• Weather and attendees’ mobility permitting, we might take a contemplative walk in the forest or instead “walk” in a guided meditation.

This retreat is for anyone who is interested in Celtic spirituality and what it might offer for their inner life

— No prior exposure to Celtic spirituality is assumed.
