SUMMARY:Living the Contemplative Life: What gets in the way?
DESCRIPTION:Tutor: Jill Benet\n\nWhat do we understand by The Contemplative Life? What expectations do we hold of ourselves and those around us? Rooted in the practice of Centering prayer and drawing on the work of  Thomas Keating\, Cynthia Bourgeault and others\, as well as our experience\, Jill will help us explore how the Contemplative Life has meaning in the everydayness of our lives. Much of the  weekend will be spent in quiet with extended periods of silent prayer. It is an invitation to find inner rest within a small community for a weekend\, and individually\, beyond. \nJill is a teacher of Centering Prayer\, and has attended retreats led by her two key influences\, Thomas Keating and Cynthia Bourgeault\, and Richard Rohr\, amongst others. She trained in the US and UK and is co-founder of the ‘Silence in the City’ series of talks on the contemplative life.

SUMMARY:Teaching spiritual practices: new possibilities
DESCRIPTION:Leader: Dr Rupert Sheldrake \nTeaching Spiritual Practices: new possibilities for cathedrals\, churches & church schools \nRecent scientific research has shown that\, in general\, people who have regular religious or spiritual practices are happier\, healthier\, and live longer.  I have written two books on the scientific study of spiritual practices\, Science and Practices and Ways to Go Beyond and Why They Work\, each of which explore seven different practices. Nowadays\, a range of spiritual practices are taught in secular settings\, like mindfulness meditation\, yoga\, and spiritual openings through psychedelics.  What I would like to explore with the participants in this Parcevall Hall weekend is how spiritual practices could be taught more widely through Christian institutions.  Can churches\, cathedrals and church schools help to promote practices which can give stronger personal experiences of spiritual connection?  In particular I would like to explore new possibilities for pilgrimage\, and for the teaching of prayer\, Christian meditation\, and chanting\, as well as the revisioning of festivals and holy days. This workshop will be based on both theory and practice\, with plenty of time for discussion and will also\, hopefully\, include a short pilgrimage. \nRupert Sheldrake\, PhD\, is a biologist and author of more than a hundred technical papers and nine books\, including The Science Delusion. As a fellow of Clare College\, Cambridge\, he was Director of Studies in Cell Biology\, and was also a research fellow of the Royal Society. He worked in Hyderabad\, India\, as Principal Plant Physiologist at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT)\, and also lived for two years in the Benedictine ashram of Fr Bede Griffiths in Tamil Nadu. From 2005-2010\, he was Director of the Perrott-Warrick Project for the study of unexplained human and animal abilities\, funded by Trinity College\, Cambridge. He is currently a fellow of the Institute of Noetic Sciences in Petaluma\, California and of Schumacher College in Dartington\, Devon. He lives in London and is married to Jill Purce\, with whom he has two sons. His web site is www.sheldrake.org. \nFULLY BOOKED –  Waiting List available \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Temple Theology
DESCRIPTION:Tutor: Margaret Barker\n \nTemple Theology is a fast-growing new way of biblical study\, rediscovering the roots of Christianity in the world of the Jerusalem temple. We shall explore how temple symbolism\, belief and practice shaped Christian faith and culture. Temple Theology is changing how we understand Christian origins and our relationship to Judaism. \nMargaret Barker has developed an approach to Biblical Studies now known as Temple Theology. Margaret Barker read theology at Cambridge and went on to pursue her research  independently. She was elected President of the Society for Old Testament Study in 1998\, and edited the Society’s second Monograph Series\, published by Ashgate. She has so far written 17 books\, which form a sequence\, later volumes building on her earlier conclusions. Since 1997\, she has been part of the symposium Religion\, Science and the Environment\, convened by His All\nHoliness Bartholomew I\, the Ecumenical Patriarch. \nThis work has led her to develop the practical implications of Temple Theology as the basis for a Christian environment theology. In July 2008 Margaret Barker was awarded a Lambeth Degree  of Doctor of Divinity by Rowan Williams\, the then Archbishop of Canterbury\, ‘in recognition of her work on the Jerusalem Temple and the origins of Christian Liturgy\, which has made a significantly new contribution to our understanding of the New Testament and opened up important fields for research’. \nMargaret Barker is a mother and grandmother\, a retired Methodist preacher and was involved for over 30 years with the work of a women’s refuge.

SUMMARY:Fellowship of Contemplative Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Witness: Revd Martin Thorpe\n\nA silent ‘listening’ retreat. Contemplative life is the expression of the desire to seek stillness amid the rush of life\, to hear ‘the still small voice’ amid today’s clamour; to search for and listen to  God. Experienced with others in a group\, silence is deeper and more powerful than when alone. By making a space for yourself and your relationship with God\, you are giving yourself and Him  a wonderful gift. Martin will be leading retreatants in contemplation of chosen Dominical sayings. \nMartin is a Pioneer Team Vicar in Warrington who has been a priest for 30 years. He is a Trustee and Council member of the Fellowship of Contemplative Prayer and an experienced ‘Witness’  and FCP Retreat leader. Formerly a research chemist\, he retains a strong interest in science and nature. He is fully inclusive. \nBookings should be made through the Hall. For more information on any aspect of this FCP retreat\, please contact Sue Davies on 01924 255129/07749 592858\, or email  susandavies367@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Beginners' Birdwatching & The Dawn Chorus
DESCRIPTION:Leader: Chris Bradshaw\n\nJoin us on a relaxed birdwatching break aimed at people new to birdwatching\, or those just wishing to enjoy commoner birds in a tranquil location. We will have a programme of short  birdwatching walks which focus on learning how to identify and understand more about the life histories of the commoner resident and migrant birds that occur in the area. There will also be the opportunity to experience one of nature’s most delightful spring events; the dawn chorus. \nChris Bradshaw has been working as a freelance ornithologist and birdwatching tour guide for over 25 years. Currently spending much of his time undertaking ornithological survey work across northern England\, he formerly led many overseas birdwatching tours\, and still runs customised birdwatching trips in the UK. He finds great joy in watching and passing on his knowledge of the  commoner British birds which first inspired his interest as a child.

SUMMARY:Literature Appreciation I - Chaucer
DESCRIPTION:Tutor: Hugh Parry\n\nIn this course we will range over a sample of the Canterbury Tales\, the well-known and the less-known. Like the pilgrims who told them\, they are a collection of ‘all-sorts’\, from satire to romance\, raunchy anecdotes to saints’ lives\, chivalry to folklore. Chaucer had no time to finish the project\, but he envisaged it as a compendium of the narratives that circulated in the written and oral  culture of the age. The theme of dreams\, prominent in the earlier poems\, will feature again. The texts will be a combination of modern versions and the originals – no-one will be left bewildered\, but Middle English is a delight worth experiencing. \nHugh Parry has offered adult education classes in literature for over 30 years. Although loyal all his life to Shakespeare\, he has over the years given courses on a diverse range of topics\,  including detective fiction\, utopias\, ghost stories\, Cowper\, Swift and R S Thomas. \nThe second Literature Appreciation event this year is from 12-15 September.

SUMMARY:Quiet Day II
DESCRIPTION:Leader: Revd Canon Andrew Tawn\n\n‘My God\, my God\, why have you forsaken me?’\n\nAs this quiet day falls in Holy Week\, we will be reflecting on Jesus’ agonised cry from the cross. These words lead us into some of the great mysteries of faith: our own experiences of God’s  absence; why did Jesus have to suffer and die on the cross? What sense can we make of our own suffering? How can we truly celebrate the resurrection\, unless we travel by the way of the  cross? \nThis day is an invitation to watch and pray with Christ in his suffering; to resist the temptation to bypass the darker themes of Holy Week\, so that we may be the better prepared for the light and joy of Easter. \nAndrew Tawn is Director of Clergy Development for the Diocese of Leeds. Before that he was rector of Addingham. Once upon a time he was a secondary school teacher\, and his interest and  enthusiasm for how we learn has always been an important strand in his ministry\, being involved in training ordinands\, readers and curates before his present full time training role. He loves  reading\, walking and good food. \nThis is a free event\, but please note\, booking is now required. Please email or phone the office to book your place.\nPlease bring your own lunch.\nFreewill offering

SUMMARY:Quiet Day 1
DESCRIPTION:Leader: Revd Tom Lusty \nGod is friendship (Aelred of Rievaulx) \nOn this quiet day we will celebrate our friendships and how an understanding of friendship informs our friendship with God. For Aelred of Rievaulx\, a great Yorkshire saint\, friendship is the highest form of love. For him the two words are synonymous: to say ‘God is friendship’ is a powerful way of saying that God is love. Where there is friendship…God is there. \nYou are invited to bring with you an object that speaks to you of a precious friendship. This can be a friend who is currently living or someone who has died. There will be an opportunity to talk about this friendship if you would like to do so. \nTom was a volunteer on Iona after time studying biblical studies at University\, and was warden of a retreat centre before ordination. He was a hospital chaplain and hospice chaplain in Leeds for nine years and has an MA in Healthcare Chaplaincy. During his time as a healthcare chaplain he led a series of retreats on the theme of friendship\, including at Parcevall Hall. Tom was then a parish priest in north Leeds for 12 years\, before beginning ministry in the Dales as Vicar of Upper Wharfedale and Littondale in June 2021. \nTom is married to Helen who is Director of the Leeds Church Institute and they have two sons. Tom loves singing and there will be a musical element to the day. This is a free event\, but please note\, booking is now required. Please email or phone the office to book your place. \nPlease bring your own lunch.\nFreewill offering

SUMMARY:Fellowship of Contemplative Prayer Retreat II
DESCRIPTION:I know the plans I have for you\nPlans to prosper and not to harm\nPlans to give you hope and a future \nJeremiah Ch 29 v 11 \n Contemplative life is the expression of the desire to seek stillness amid the rush of life\, to hear ‘the still small voice’ amid today’s modern clamour; to search for and listen to God. \nExperienced with others in a group\, silence is deeper and more powerful than when alone.  It is greatly helpful and encouraging.  By making a dedicated personal space for yourself and your relationship with God\, you are giving yourself and Him a wonderful gift. \nA Dominical saying is taken for each exercise and contemplated.  We listen to God. In intercession towards the end of each exercise we bring others\, family\, friends and world events into the silence so that they too are enfolded in God’s purposes and healing. \nTo book\, and for more information on any aspect of this FCP retreat\, please contact Sue Davies on 01924 255129 or 07749 592 858;  email susandavies367@gmail.com.  For more information about the Fellowship of Contemplative Prayer\, visit www.contemplative-prayer.org.uk \nThe first Fellowship of Contemplative Prayer Retreat this year is from 24 – 27 May
