5-Day Guided BioSpiritual Focusing Silent Retreat.

When: 12 - 17 May 2023.

Where: Ards Retreat Centre, Creeslough,
Letterkenny, Co Donegal, Ireland

We invite you to come and explore the beauty of the Ards Peninsula in Donegal, allowing the natural surroundings, the sea, and the mountains to reconnect and guide you into the gift of living directly and freshly from your own body.

In this silent guided retreat, we will explore the practice of BioSpiritual Focusing as based on the work of Eugene Gendlin and further developed by Frs. Pete Campbell and Ed McMahon. Participants will attend morning group sessions of learning and discussion, and each afternoon, will meet one-on-one with a Focusing Companion. There will be evening sessions for discussions, providing observations and opportunities for questions regarding the process of BioSpiritual Focusing. As you participate in this life-giving and life-changing experience over the course of the 5 days, you will become more and more aware of the sacred story you carry in your own body and the movement of grace in your life.

Facilitated by: Fr Philip Baxter, John Keane (International Director of the BioSpiritual Institute) and the Ards Team.
