Recent research in psychology has focussed on flourishing and what makes life worth living. The ‘psychology of flourishing’ proposes that we need to live well along five dimensions: positive emotions; positive relationships; engagement; meaning; and accomplishment. All of this is underpinned by character.
During this weekend, Father Roger Dawson SJ will introduce and explain this approach to flourishing as life before death with examples and practical exercises, and he will make the link with our faith and Ignatian spirituality. He shall also look at applying this as a psychology for dealing with tough times. There will also be opportunities for silence, prayer and reflection.

The team at St Beuno's have created this retreat for participants to reflect on Pope Leo XIV's statement: "We want to be a synodal church, walking and always seeking peace, charity, closeness, especially to those who are suffering."
This is an online retreat day especially for you to set aside time with God while making. You will find your own quiet space to be at work and use your own materials of choice. There will be suggestions for prayer and opportunities to share your prayer.
An online retreat in daily life enables you to make time for prayer and reflection in the midst of daily commitments. It is suitable both for people who feel like they don't have enough time to pray and for those who simply feel like their prayer life needs refreshment.
