Wonder of Stories

  • Monastery of Our Lady of Hyning Warton, nr Carnforth Lancashire LA5 9SE England (map)

Led by Donna Worthington

As the gong is sounded, an ancient Emperor of China appears, his eyes held by what he has just read about the exquisite song of the Nightingale... Sit back, relax and enjoy the performance... We will seek to enter another world and mine the treasures of this old story and explore the Nightingale as a symbol of Christ. The retreat will offer space to explore, from Christian perspectives, how stories can be guides to deeper self-awareness, freedom and wholeness that God offers us. We will also reflect on the famous tales of Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella.
