Oct 17th-19th
Dissolving Boundaries - The Annual BCVN Meeting
This weekend is really a time for members of the Network and any
friends who may be interested to come together to share and reflect
on their own personal lives and journeys.
In previous years people have found these days rich and inspiring,
with plenty of time for building friendship, but also time for meditating
together and for those who wish participating in the Eucharist on
Sunday morning at the Priory.
The food will be vegetarian, in order to be simple for the catering
and to enable everyone to feel at home. The sisters always do us
proud with the catering. If you are coming on a daily basis and
prefer to bring your own lunch, that is fine also.
The weekend is facilitated by Elizabeth West and she responds to
the needs of the group and their preferences. W build the rhythm
of the weekend ourselves on the first evening.
The weeked will be held at St Mary’s Convent Conference Centre,
Priory Field Drive, Edgware, North London

Joy on the Path: A Buddhist/Christian Retreat
led by Ajahn Candasiri and Elizabeth West
at the Abbey Sutton Courtenay.
It is a long time since Sr Candasiri and I have done a retreat
together, but who have attended them are still on the mailing list.
It was from these retreats that the Network was born. The Retreat
will consist of talks, sharing and plenty of meditation and walking.
The retreat will run from after supper on 28th Nov, until after
lunch on Monday 1st Dec. Priority will be given to people able to
attend the full time. There are only 17 places at the Abbey and
a few in B & B’s around. Day attenders are welcome but
will be expected to attend the full retreat.
BOOK EARLY TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT.
For full details and cost please contact the Abbey by phone on
