Description
Thomas Merton's spiritual writings have become modern classics, offering insights into the monastic tradition. Esther de Waal has created a seven-day retreat programme using extracts from his works and photographs, making it accessible for personal or group reflection at home, in a centre, or on holiday. The focus of each day is designed to guide participants through a journey of spiritual growth, exploring themes such as The Call, Response, The Solitary Within, Encounter With Christ, The Demands of Love, Ordinary Things, and Integration. This retreat programme allows for flexibility, enabling individuals to commit to a week or a period of weeks. Through Merton's writings and photography, de Waal provides a thoughtful and contemplative framework for reflection and self-discovery.
