We need silence to be alone with God, to speak to him, to listen to him, to ponder his words deep in our hearts.  We need to be alone with God in silence to be renewed and transformed.  Silence gives us a new outlook on life.  In it we are filled with the energy of God himself that makes us do all things with joy.  Mother Teresa

Hi SGM Wellington Friends and Visitors

Registrations for the annual 2 & 4 Day SGM Residential Retreats at Waikanae are soon to close. 

You'll notice on the above page that dates for the February 2013, SGM 7 Day Retreat have been set.

Also, that a couple of weekend Retreats with Esther de Waal are being offered early in Advent.

Esther is also offering two Quiet days - one in Palmerston North and the other in Wellington while she is here.

A brochure has been posted advertising a Raumati South Week of Contemplative Prayer 9-14 September

Finally, I am currently compiling the Wellington section of the National SGM 2013 Programme.
Please contact me if you want your event/s included in this Programme.
I have attached guidelines for information you may consider providing.

Happy Spring.

Kind regards,
Terry
