SUMMARY:Shalom Quest with Noel Moules
DESCRIPTION:You are warmly invited to a  \nContemplative Fire online event: ‘Shalom Quest’  with Noel Moules \nSaturday 25th April 2026  on Zoom arrive from 9.45 am \n Event starts 10 am – 12.30pm  \n(Plus an opportunity for a further optional conversation from 1.00-2.00 pm) \n[NB Scroll down for the Zoom link] \nDuring this online event\, Noel will introduce the vision\, possibilities and opportunities of Shalom Quest. \nHe will give a summarising introduction of the Shalom Quest perspective\, which is to encourage individuals to explore spirituality\, recognising that it is at the heart of being – which Noel defines as ’the flow of the experience of meaning and relationship’ – it does not require a belief in God\, neither does it exclude it. \nIt provokes the question\, “What kind of person do you want to be?” and encourages the challenge for everyone to ‘find their path’. Shalom Quest suggests that this will unfold for each of us as we explore the idea of living by life-giving values. Shalom Quest is committed to providing resources and support to help people to do just this. \nIn preparation for the event \, Noel hopes you will have had the opportunity to watch the film (13 minutes long) ‘’What is Shalom Quest?” on the Shalom Quest home page\, and to read through the ‘Homepage’ of the Shalom Quest website and anything else that catches your eye\, so you have a little background and come along to the online event with any questions which the film(s) and website have provoked. \nBy April\, there should be a second film available to watch on the website\, “What is Community?” \nDuring the event\, there will be our usual opportunities for contemplation\, alongside a chance to listen to Noel and then share in small group breakout room discussions. \nIt will also include chances for Q&A. \nAfter the event from 1pm – 2pm: Noel is offering an Optional Conversation: \nNoel will be available after a brief 30-minute lunch break to give more detail about any aspects of Shalom Quest anyone might want to explore further\, and explain what being practically involved in any aspects of the project within the skills and time people may be able to offer. \nTo book onto this event\, if you are able please click here to fill in the google form link as this gives us an idea of the number of people planning to attend. \n\nAbout Noel \n \nNoel is a thinker\, teacher\, author\, and activist for deep ecology\, plus inclusive spirituality (which he defines as ‘the flow of the experience of meaning and relationship’). \nHe describes himself as a ‘Triple-A-Christian’: an Anabaptist (following the radical Jesus)\, an Anarchist (living by spirit-empowered life-giving values; and not rules)\, and an Animist (living in harmonious reciprocal relationships with all creation). \nNoel is a missionary child\, born in India in 1945; his formative years were in the forests and foothills of the Himalaya. In 1967 Noel discovered the Hebrew concept of shalom that has provided the vision and foundation of everything he has done since then. \nIn 1983\, he founded ‘Workshop’ a progressive Christian learning programme with 5\,500 participants in total\, he taught 1080 ‘Workshop’ weekends across the UK between 1983-2014. In 2012\, Noel published his first book\, ‘Fingerprints of Fire\, Footprints of Peace’ about spiritual identity. He is currently writing\, ‘Christian Animism: Jesus’ spirituality and the community of creation’. \nNoel has led seminars on 10 different occasions at the Greenbelt Festival\, and has been invited on two occasions (2014\, 2015)\, to speak as a Christian animist at Pagan Pride\, the UK’s largest Pagan event; plus\, many other events over the decades. \nIn 2021\, Noel began creating resources and safe spaces for the Shalom Quest project to support people in finding their own spiritual path\, which is still in the early stages of development. \nNoel is married\, they have three adult children. He lives in Sheffield in the UK. He is a totally inclusive Universalist\, an ethical vegan\, committed to ‘assertive meekness’ (nonviolence). He loves walking\, listening to global music\, listening and learning from others\, and inspiring hope everywhere. \nZoom link: \nContemplative Fire is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting arrive 9:45am for 10am start.\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/81573846999?pwd=auflaUOgmIIaEzIkYcS5xLvXwqRaf5.1 \nMeeting ID: 815 7384 6999\nPasscode: 518652 \n— \nOne tap mobile\n+443300885830\,\,81573846999#\,\,\,\,*518652# United Kingdom\n+441314601196\,\,81573846999#\,\,\,\,*518652# United Kingdom \nJoin instructions\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meetings/81573846999/invitations?signature=pb7P-rmyA41viw_Trcx1TOrJ77OSZcpV5hs4G6atRyk \n──────────

SUMMARY:February Retreat
DESCRIPTION:The trefoil of dreaming: Listening to God the Revealer of Mysteries\n\nA retreat led by Ali Dorey and Kim Tsai\nFriday 20th – Sunday 22nd February 2026\nRydal Hall\nhttps://www.rydalhall.org/\n\n\nCommunication (Dream painting) by Kim Tsai \nThere are many ways to listen to God. On this retreat\, we will explore how God may speak to us in dreams\, or through various dreaming practices. This retreat is open to all\, whatever your experience with dreaming or not dreaming. The weekend will be accessible whether you have been on many retreats before or none. \nWe will use the Contemplative Fire Trefoil (“still waters”\, “a learning journey” and “across the threshold” and the mystery at the centre) as a framework for the sessions. \nThis is not a silent retreat\, although contemplation will be woven through it. Some participants may wish to journey into deeper solitude and silence in the free time\, while others may wish to share together. We invite all participants to bring their own intentions while being sensitive to one another to make the retreat work for all. \nThis retreat is now fully booked \n \nKim is a Companion in Contemplative Fire and has been recording her dreams daily for over 20 years. As well as writing down her dreams\, Kim also paints the most significant ones and meditates on their potential meanings. For Kim\, dreams are the primary way in which she listens to God and converses with the Divine (both through nighttime dreams and imaginal contemplations). On this retreat\, she will share practices which participants will be able to develop in order to explore their own dream lives. \n\n \n\nAli is a trustee of Contemplative Fire\, who generally doesn’t even remember her dreams\, but who has experienced a few significant dreams recently\, which have borne some pondering. She also has a fascination with the Bible\, which she studied at degree level\, and will bring some biblical dream stories to the retreat. In the book of Daniel\, through the experience of dreams and interpretations\, God is given the title “Revealer of Mysteries”\, which has always intrigued Ali. \n\nHow to book\nPlease click here for the booking form link to reserve your place on this retreat. \nIf you have any queries before booking do email info@contemplativefire.org \n\nFurther details about the retreat\nThe arrival time at Rydal Hall on Friday 20th February will be from 4pm and departure will be after lunch on Sunday 22nd February. \nIn early February 2026 the outline of the programme\, list of those attending and other relevant information will be emailed out to those who have booked onto the retreat. \nHowever\, please get in touch on info@contemplativefire.org if you have any further queries about the retreat before then.

SUMMARY:Wisdom on the Way with Sister Clare Louise SLG
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 22nd November 2025\nOnline on Zoom:\nArrive from 9.45am for 10am-12.30pm\n \nThe Garden and the Mansions: Praying with Teresa of Avila.\nWith Sister Clare-Louise SLG\nWhat can a 16th century Spanish mystic possibly have to say to us about prayer in the 21st century? Using her imagery of the garden and the mansions\, this session will explore Teresa’s teaching on prayer and her relevance for us as we seek to pray for today’s church and world. \nSister Clare-Louise is a member of the Anglican Sisters of the Love of God\, who has been influenced and encouraged by St Teresa and her friend St John of the Cross for more years than she cares to remember! \nSister Clare-Louise accompanies our Contemplative Fire community\, sharing valuable wisdom from her own community and experience with us as we journey together. \nFind out more about the Sisters of the Love of God here. \nThis event is free\, but please do click here to book your place\, so we know how many people we are expecting. The Zoom link is on the form and also below (scroll down)… \nWisdom on the Ways are open events\, available to Companions\, Friends and anyone interested in the topic of the event or in sampling what Contemplative Fire has to offer. Typically we offer 3- 4 Wisdom on the Way sessions annually. The topic of each is determined by the presenter of the event (who is often someone from beyond our own community)\, enabling us to explore and deepen our spiritual journey. The event honours\, and weaves in\, the Contemplative Fire ethos\, values and rhythm of life. These events are free\, but if you’d like to make a donation to Contemplative Fire in gratitude for it\, to enable us to keep offering these events freely\, you can find our bank details here. \nContemplative Fire is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \nTopic: Wisdom on the Way\nTime: Nov 22\, 2025 09:45 AM London\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/84286599242?pwd=dYd45AXsaMDgGKNDLQDae5bNfaaKXb.1 \nMeeting ID: 842 8659 9242\nPasscode: 479136 \n— \nOne tap mobile\n+13863475053\,\,84286599242#\,\,\,\,*479136# US\n+15074734847\,\,84286599242#\,\,\,\,*479136# US \nJoin instructions\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/meetings/84286599242/invitations?signature=CRmNHFHMhYPtomZhhTlQVU1JRJWh6VWmQUbOv9WXxVw

SUMMARY:Silent Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Silent Retreat led by Jeremy Timm \nMonday 10th – Thursday 13th November 2025 \nat Parcevall Hall\, Skipton\, North Yorkshire. \nJOURNEY INTO SILENCE \nAs a community we endeavour to follow a rhythm of life based upon the triquetra\, the Celtic trefoil\, one leaf of which represents Still Waters\, our commitment to contemplative prayer. This is both an individual invitation and a communal one; our shared time on this retreat\, Journey into Silence\, is an exploration and experience of Divine Presence in community\, as a group. \nAfter gathering and sharing supper on our first evening we will step into “Noble Silence” as a group and begin our journey. \nWe will have three sits a day comprising of two 25-minute silences\, separated by movement through tai chi\, body prayer and slow meditation walks. \nThe sits will be introduced and resourced by me through drumming\, music\, storytelling and poetry. \nEach retreatant will have their own room to spend time in resting\, reading or journaling. \nOur time together in Silence may be a personal challenge\, but as we open ourselves to Divine Presence our journey will be an enriching and transformative experience. \nCost \nFor those who have not done a Silent retreat before and would like to come along there is a subsidised cost for the retreat of £150 per person. \nAnd for those who have participated in Silent Retreats before the subsidised cost is £200 per person. \nIf you require a bursary / further reduction in cost to join the Retreat  or for costs toward public transport– please let us know on the online booking form\, which we will make available here as soon as we can. Watch this space! \nAccommodation \nPlease note all the available rooms have  a washbasin and  shared facilities\, with one room adapted for those with mobility issues. \nParcevall Hall gardens
