Hospitality, welcoming guests, is central to Benedictine life. Through the centuries monasteries have offered spiritual and physical support and sanctuary for travellers, seekers and pilgrims, and the English nuns of Turvey Abbey continue that tradition. Due to the current crisis they are not able to physically welcome guests. They have now started offering a variety of resources for online retreats and prayer, including the option to talk with a retreat guide digitally during a retreat. |

The worldwide Jesuit online prayer phenomenon that is ‘Sacred Space’ has a 14 day ‘Isolation’ retreat specifically for use during the Coronavirus crisis. According to Sacred Space:
We are built for communication with God, our creator and origin. Relating to God should be easy as it is an essential part of who we are. However, when we hit difficult moments such as the Coronavirus crisis, God seems to have abandoned us and prayer can seem impossible. Yet, given that we are created in the image of God, it is possible to live our lives close to God in a personal and intimate way. "God is closer to us than we are to ourselves" said St Augustine.
The retreat is designed to help us recognise where God is present in our everyday lives. This is an adventure into the unknown, where we can take some pointers from wise people who have gone before us, but it is also one where we have to trust our instincts and believe that God is offering us new opportunities. Make your prayers real, heartfelt and based on your experience, and step out to where God is waiting. Jesus Christ, be our light.
