JOURNEY TO TRANSFORMATION
FULLNESS OF LIFE IN CHRIST

JOURNEY TO TRANSFORMATION 

Fullness of Life In Christ

Running from September 2025 to June 2026 

One Saturday per month in Ruah (Cork), plus regular online gatherings.

This programme will be attractive to those who wish to renew, nourish and deepen their commitment on the spiritual journey.  

What is perhaps most unique about this course is the context of the learning within the Ruah Home Environment where relationship, community and ongoing discernment is key.  This transformative approach will integrate contemplative spirituality with the best of modern psychology and neuroscience. 

It will creatively draw from the book of creation, life experience, scripture and spiritual wisdom traditions.

We will assimilate and digest the learnings through crafting our own rhythm of life/rule of life. 

This will be an ongoing process throughout the year which will help us to strip back some of the busyness and speed and create a 'less is more' abundance.

The following are just a flavour of some of the themes we will integrate:

Nourishing the soul: navigating life's mysteries through ritual, poetry, music, story, film, art etc.

Desert and Celtic wisdom for today: rediscovering contemporary ways of living monastic rhythms.

The art of discernment: guidance for times of transition, crossroads and decision making.

Wellbeing: holistic approach to healing and transformation.

The presence in the present moment:  cultivating stillness, acceptance and compassion through Christian Mindfulness.

Caring for creation:  recognising and taking responsibility for the interconnected system where we are all one in the awesome web of life.

Contemplation and Stillness:  discovering the treasures of regular practice of meditation and prayer through lectio divina, centering prayer etc.

The learning environment will be creative and integrative in a small community context offering the atmosphere of a nourishing retreat day each month.

Cost:  €500 (can be done in two instalments, concessions available)

Tonight was beautiful! As usual Martina your input on the Gospel was outstanding - 'break it open' as you say - I love that phrase and now every Sunday's Gospel presents more potential than it ever did for me!

Lucinda, your presentation tonight was marvellous! How superbly you put that together - we were carried along in awe with the script and the visuals! And then the final song - so so lovely!

Better than a show in the theatre!

Thank you again for these last weeks. I'm really looking forward to the Lenten retreat!

The hard work you had done in the background was very obvious to us!
