Refuge & Strength
‘God is for us a refuge and strength, an ever-present help in time of distress’ - Psalm 46:1
A weekend seeking to affirm and encourage LGBT+ Christians of all traditions in their faith and identity as beloved by God.
There will be time for workshops and sharing, silence, prayer, worship and creativity in beautiful surroundings.
We invite you to join us for this special weekend of retreat where we’ll explore our true selves in our relationship with God. This retreat is your time to be on holiday with God in the company of others from the LGBTQ+ Christian community. Our approach will embrace different Christian traditions.
We are also very pleased to be able to offer Spiritual Direction to those who would like it during this weekend. Please ask for this when you book your place, as we need advance notice to allocate directors for this retreat. If you wish to book for the weekend please click on ‘Register Here’ below
Going Deeper
This year, for the first time, we encourage you to stay on, if you are able, to deepen your weekend's reflection on an individually guided silent retreat. You can find out more about individually guided retreats here: Individually Guided Retreats. If you are able to stay on for the individually guided retreat, we recommend NOT booking a spiritual direction session during the weekend.
If you wish to stay on for the individually guided retreat please book for the weekend by clicking on ‘Register Here’ below and then also contact the admin office for details of the IGR and to book (info@beunos.com).
The team
The weekend retreat will be led by Cathy, Frank, Kieran and Sarah, representing Quest, which supports LGBTQ+ Catholics, and the Open Table Network, a partnership of worship communities for LGBTQ+ Christians, our family, friends & anyone who wants to belong in an accepting, loving community.
