“My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me.” — John 10:27
In the midst of busy lives and constant noise, how do we learn to listen for the voice of Christ?
Join us at Rydal Hall for a gentle, reflective day exploring the spiritual practice of listening. We will discover how paying attention to silence, to ourselves, to one another, and to the beauty of creation can open us to a deeper awareness of God’s presence.
Through short reflections, Scripture, periods of silence, guided prayer, and time to explore Rydal Hall’s beautiful gardens and woodland, there will be space to slow down, breathe, and listen.
The day will follow three simple movements from Jesus’ words in John 10:27:
Hear — becoming attentive to God’s presence and voice.
Know — receiving the truth that we are already known and loved by Christ.
Follow — discerning the next faithful step as we respond to his call.
There is no expectation of previous experience of contemplative prayer. Whether you are familiar with quiet days or simply ready for some space away from the demands of everyday life, you are warmly welcome.
Come for a day of stillness, attentiveness, and renewal, and perhaps discover that, beneath the many voices around us, the Shepherd is still calling.
