The Other Presence
A Retreat for Spiritual Accompaniers with the Emmaus Road story. Led by Nick Helm
Tuesday 27th – Friday 30th May 2025
Spiritual Accompaniers journey with others as they explore their lives and how they recognise and deepen their encounter with the divine presence. In this retreat those who are active spiritual accompaniers are offered the space to reflect on their own journey and the recognise and deepen their personal encounter with Christ.
The silent retreat will involve a rhythm of silence, worship, Scripture reflection, space for reflection & prayer and sharing with others. There will also be the opportunity of one to one spiritual accompaniment.
