Introduction to the Film
“A tremendously effective salute to Tim” - The Hollywood Reporter
A powerful documentary about Jesuit-educated photojournalist, Tim Hetherington, who was ‘killed at work’ in Libya in 2012. Tim had travelled the world documenting conflicts in Afghanistan, Liberia and Libya, among other locations. Best known for his 2010 film, 'Restrepo', which was nominated in the documentary category for an Academy Award, Tim’s photography always strived to capture the humanity within conflict situations and his images focused on the individuals involved and their experiences of the violence surrounding them. Unfortunately, in 2011 Tim was killed by a mortar blast and this film is a tribute and celebration of the legacy he has left behind and includes interviews with those who knew him best. A recent exhibition of Tim’s photo work was shown at the Imperial War Museum in London.

During this weekend Father Roger Dawson SJ will introduce and explain this approach to flourishing as life before death and he will make the link with our faith and Ignatian spirituality.
This weekend explores the human condition through your own life story, in the context of the Gospel story and the Christian spiritual life, using mindfulness skills and contemplative Christian prayer.
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 residential course includes listening skills, discernment of spirits, a model of Ignatian spiritual conversation and accompaniment, and ways of praying. The course will help deepen and improve one-to-one pastoral ministry, using Ignatian principles based on the Spiritual Exercises.
