The John Main Seminar - “New Wine, New Skins”
A wineskin was usually made of goat or sheep skin to store or transport wine. Putting new wine into old skins while it was still fermenting risked breaking the skin and losing the wine. Jesus uses the metaphor to illustrate the perennial freshness of the revolution he began and continues to drive – his empowering call to a renewed consciousness that will manifest new forms and structures of human life. Christians pray that this ‘reign of God will come on earth as in heaven’.
There will be a pre-seminar retreat led by Laurence from 11th to 14th September 2023

“Seeing is Believing”
Led by Laurence Freeman OSB and Giovanni Felicioni
We can look at something but still see only what we imagine is there. We can have an experience and miss the meaning. Loss, grief, disappointment take their toll in life but can also be transformed by seeing what is really there.
