Jesus said that God’s kingdom is like a treasure hidden in a field for years and then is accidentally found (Matthew 13.44). At this retreat Michael will investigate what some of these treasures might be and how we might find them. In particular he will look at the precious Treasure of Wisdom, the mysterious Treasure of the Dark, and the transformational Treasure of the Heart. He will share insights from Scripture, every day experiences, and stories from the early church in Ireland and Britain. The retreat will be in silence from Monday night to Thursday afternoon.
