The 2010 Spring Conference (Feb 26-28) at Drumalis Retreat and Conference Centre, Co Antrim, will bring to the North East, for the first time, the symposium Be The Change.
According to organisers, the hope is that something will be awakened in participants to urge them into action towards an ecologically sustainable, socially just and spiritually fulfilling life on planet earth.
The Drumalis centre is run by the Sisters of the Cross and Passion and, for them, the Passionist spirit embraces a passion for the earth. The centre is one of the places where they can be attentive to the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor and respond with compassion, practicality and creativity.They are committed to keeping alive ‘care for the earth’ in ministry.
Spirituality, ecumenism and ecology are at the heart of all the programmes and activities held in this beautiful, ancient site at the gateway to the Antrim coast.
The next retreat at Drumalis – scheduled for July 13-18 2010 – is entitled The Other Way Round.
This retreat will offer an opportunity to ponder some of the great changes that are required of us if we are to go forward into the future as “a single sacred community”. Facing up to the challenge of changing our mindsets and unexamined assumptions about our place within the community of life calls for deep conversion of heart.
