We are offering a unique opportunity to join us for a facilitated guided 7 day retreat including spiritual direction and accommodation (if required) with Chris McPhee msc. This journey, a transformative, contemplative experience, invites you to discover your deepest desires and engage you in an ancient contemplative prayer practice that will lead you deeper into the very heart of God.
Through the radiant heart of Jesus, experience the fire of love and the release of God's energies, creating a whole new reality within you. Learn to transform your energies into love and creativity, connecting deeply with Christ, heart to heart.
Chris will lead us in this retreat which offers a special opportunity to feel God's unconditional love and presence, realizing that the divine has always been within you. Embrace this sacred journey and discover the profound connection with God's heart, igniting a new creation within your soul.
