Saturday Quiet Day
A quiet day aboard Resolute is an opportunity to step aside and spend time at the waters edge, where land meets sea - a place of change and nourishment. The ebbing and flowing of the tide lends a natural rhythm to the day and helps us recover our own natural rhythm.
The day is spent in silence. Various optional resources are available to help make the most of your day including a range of contemplative poems and texts and one-to-one time with an experienced listener.
The coastal path is available for easy walks from the ship and there will be an opportunity to experience a pilgrimage walk.
The day ends with a time of shared reflection - a chance to still ourselves before we return to our every day

Sunday Quiet Day
Gathered in Silence: A Contemplative Day for Christian Meditators

This day retreat is offered for those with an established meditative prayer practice — such as Centering Prayer, Christian Meditation, or Christian mindfulness. It will not provide instruction in these methods; rather, it is an invitation to enter into sustained shared silence with others who are accustomed to contemplative prayer.

Morning Prayer will include 50 minutes of shared silence, broken halfway by a slow, mindful walk around the chapel. Afternoon prayer will follow the same pattern. These periods offer generous space for the heart to rest in God beyond words and concepts.

Between morning and afternoon prayer we will continue to hold the silence during unstructured time for reflection. Participants may choose to quietly rest in stillness gazing across the harbour, walk the shoreline path giving quiet attentiveness to creation, pray with scripture through lectio divina, journal, draw etc. A simple vegetarian lunch will be shared at the middle of the day.

We will be using the chapel at CYE for part of the day. This space is situated upstairs and accessed by a flight of stairs; those with limited mobility may wish to take this into account when considering booking.

Jesus once asked the question, “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion?”

If he asked you the same question, how would you answer?

If your answer is yes, maybe you’d benefit from an opportunity to step away from the burdens and distractions of everyday life, or even the busyness of church life?

“Come to me,” says Jesus. ”Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” (Matthew 11, The Message)

Join us for a weekend retreat. Together we will seek to learn Jesus’ unforced rhythms of grace. We will explore ancient contemplative practices that will help deepen our union with Jesus and learn to rest in him. We’ll drop deeper into his promise of life to the full.

Ralph Buckingham will be leading our retreat with Abigail Emsley.
Ralph has a rich background, having worked at CYE in the 90s and 2000s, taught at an international Christian school in India, and dedicated many years to working in a local church. Currently, Ralph serves as a spiritual director, guiding others on their faith journeys. Abigail is currently training to be a spiritual director and is experienced in supporting and working with groups and individuals of all ages.

The all-inclusive price for an individual cabin is £155.
