Our
Retreat Director

Fr Matt Blake OCD

A Carmelite priest, and a renowned speaker and authority on Carmelite spirituality. He will explore with us how we can apply Carmelite spirituality, a trusted path to get closer to God and deepen our experience of the Divine Mystery, in the day to day family experience.

Family Friendly

Children of all ages are welcome. 

Organised for families by families. The retreat is structured around times of teaching and personal prayer for parents, while children participate in a school of prayer specially tailored to their age.

The weekend

at a Glance

 

  • A taught retreat for adults
  • A school of prayer for children aged 2 and up (up to 12-14 years old, contact us if you want to bring your teenagers too)
  • A crèche for babies aged up to 2 years old
  • Starts Saturday at 11am and ends Sunday at 5pm

 

While parents discover the joy of prayer through times of teaching and practice, children are fully taken care of and take part in a school of prayer where they experience the love of God through practical and sport activities, as well as through times of sharing and prayer. It is a privileged time for parents to have some time for themselves and for their couple.


The heart of children are naturally open to a relationship with Christ. Many mysteries are more familiar to them than they are to us as adults. That is why PULSE provides a real retreat for children, so that young and old can go on a journey suitable for their own age.
