Children of the Mist: Contemplating Christ’s Transfiguration.
“This is my beloved Son, listen to him.”
Join us for a week-long, self-catered retreat at Greenwood, where we immerse ourselves in the profound mystery of the Transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-9; Mark 9:2-8; Luke 9:28-36). Walking alongside those three disciples and guided by the wisdom of the Church Fathers, we contemplate the divine glory revealed in Jesus’ humanity.
Through prayer and meditation, we seek to enter the great cloud of God’s presence, attuning our hearts to the voice of His Beloved Son. Together, we explore the theology of Jesus’ ascension and the dynamic relationship between the contemplative and active life, experiencing Jesus’ prophetic, priestly and kingly ministry in our midst.
Embodying this learning, we venture out into the hills surrounding Greenwood, on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula in the Highlands of Scotland. In this place of beauty and wildness, we listen for fresh vision for the places and people He has called us to.
