During this six month sabbatical we will explore the River under the river. We will relook at what we believe, reflect on what we experience, reconfirm what we know to be true for ourselves and recommit to a personal ‘spiritual rule’ that is a holy encounter with the deepest wellsprings of our own aliveness. We will be encouraged by many New Zealand mystics, including Suzanne Aubert, who said ‘our life should combine the life of Martha and Mary, walking arm in arm together and never separated’. This sabbatical will begin and end with a weekend retreat. In between there will be once-a-month spiritual companion sessions.
