A 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. Lynn will be leading retreatants in contemplation of chosen Dominical sayings.

Literature Appreciation II: Music in Literature
2023-09-12 16:00 - 2023-09-15 15:00
Tutor: Hugh Parry

Music is obviously in debt to literature for the texts which it turns into song andopera. The debt is not one-way: poems, short stories, novels and song lyrics interpret music verbally, or describe composers, musicians, musical events, and audiences. The material is so copious that any choice amongst it would be random, so the course will make a virtue of this with a wide variety of musical genres and writers. Where possible, we will listen to the music which stimulated the texts, too.
Hugh 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.
The first Literature Appreciation event this year is from 11-13 April.

Quiet Day III
2023-08-21 10:00 - 16:00
Leader: The Very Revd Simon Cowling

Encounters with the Divine
Scripture is full of descriptions of human encounters with the Divine. On this Quiet Day Simon will reflect on three such encounters with the help of art and music, and will suggest ways in which we ourselves might be open to such encounters in our own lives of discipleship.
Simon Cowling has been Dean of Wakefield since 2018. He has served for the whole of his ordained ministry in Yorkshire – in inner city and suburban Leeds as a curate and incumbent, at Sheffield Cathedral as a Residentiary Canon and, before moving to Wakefield, as Rector of Bolton Abbey.

Living the Contemplative Life: What gets in the way?
2023-06-28 16:00 - 2023-06-30 15:00
Tutor: Jill Benet

What 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.
Jill 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.

Teaching spiritual practices: new possibilities
2023-06-23 16:00 - 2023-06-25 15:00
Leader: Dr Rupert Sheldrake
Teaching Spiritual Practices: new possibilities for cathedrals, churches & church schools
Recent 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.
Rupert Sheldrake, PhD, is a biologist and author of more than a hundred technical papers and nine books, including The Science Delusion.

Temple Theology
2023-06-06 16:00 - 2023-06-08 15:00
Tutor: Margaret Barker

Temple 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.
Margaret 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
Holiness Bartholomew I, the Ecumenical Patriarch.
This 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’.
Margaret 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.

Literature Appreciation I - Chaucer
2023-04-11 16:00 - 2023-04-13 15:00
Tutor: Hugh Parry

In 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.
Hugh 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.

Quiet Day II
2023-04-03 10:00 - 16:00
Leader: Revd Canon Andrew Tawn

‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’

As 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?
This 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.
Andrew 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.
