A Summer retreat to help us switch off and switch back on to God. The writer Anne Lamott once said, ‘Almost anything works again if you switch it off for a few minutes… including you.’ And summer’s a season to put a smile on even the most weary of faces, so we’ll pause for breath, and turn our face again toward God’s radiant Life-Light. We’ll welcome the long, light days of high summer, step out into the fresh air and dive into the immersive qualities of life in God’s sensuous kingdom.
