'Look at the Birds' retreats in 2019

Date: Thu, 30th May 2019 23:00

Birds feature much more in the scriptures than you might suppose. This retreat is a special opportunity to learn in depth about birds and what they reveal about God's love. We have guided birdwatching walks suitable for complete beginners, plus a rhythm of Celtic-style worship and reflections on some of the main birds featured in the Bible like the eagle, the dove and the raven.

Our time will be spent on and around Holy Island which in the autumn hosts considerable numbers of waders, duck and geese as well as arriving migrants from continental Europe and warblers from Siberia. In the spring we look for migrants coming north from Africa and the wonderful selection of seabirds passing offshore.

These retreats are designed both for Christians and for people sympathetic to the Christian faith who wish to learn more about birds in a place internationally famous for its birdlife and its Celtic Christian heritage.

PRICE: The spring retreat is for 3 nights from Friday 31 May to Monday 3 June 2019.

The September retreats are from Friday 6 - Monday 9 September and Friday 20 - Monday 23 September.

The October retreats are from Friday 11 - Monday 14 October and Friday 25 - Monday 28 October 2019.

£225 per person + B&B accommodation at the Open Gate
