New Wine, New Skins
John Main Seminar 14-17 September 2023

A wineskin was usually made of goat or sheep skin to store or transport wine. Putting new wine into old skins while it was still fermenting risked breaking the skin and losing the wine. Jesus uses the metaphor to illustrate the perennial freshness of the revolution he began and continues to drive – his empowering call to a renewed consciousness that will manifest new forms and structures of human life. Christians pray that this ‘reign of God will come on earth as in heaven’.

A Benedictine Wisdom School

The retreat offers balanced movement from prayer to work, from intellectual stimulation to silence—and back again.

The Mystery of Easter is Being Remade – Holy Week Retreat

The mysteries of Holy Week allow us to enter into an ancient process of storytelling, ritual, and meaning-making. By sharing in the passion and death of Jesus, we also share in his resurrection, allowing our minds and hearts to be remade.

Risking Delight

This retreat is an opportunity to contemplate what it means to rejoice always, living, working, leading and loving from a renewing and refreshing place—risking delight.
