Care of creation retreat at Boarbank Hall Cumbria
“The Joy of Limits”
27th – 31st May 2025
The retreat is led by:
Sr Margaret Atkins of Boarbank Hall (canonesses of St Augustine) and John Paul de Quay of the Ecological Conversion Group.

We will discuss:
• What is enough?
• Art and the power of limits.
• Respecting God’s laws and structures.
• Human limits and the incarnation.
Optional Activities include: walks, birdwatching, gardening, film evenings, artwork workshops. All set in the rhythm of Mass and sung Prayer of the Church with the Boarbank Community.
Cost: 5 days £360-400 for an individual room or £600 for a twin or double. £640 for a family room. Donation towards cost of course is optional (reductions offered as needed).
