A retreat for all who are interested in the mess the world is in right now. How can we, pilgrim people of God, contribute to peace and reconciliation for all? Talks, experiential workshops, and dance will help us to reflect, pray and learn from peacemakers and reconcilers in the Christian tradition, from St Aidan in AD635 to modern day saints like Desmond Tutu. Sarah was brought up in South Africa and moved to Northern Ireland.
