Discovering Unity Weekend Retreat
22 May 2015 19:00 to 25 May 2015 14:00
Chisholme House, Roberton, Hawick, Scottish Borders TD9 7PH
Time to reconnect with yourself and the world around you in the beautiful and peaceful environment of Chisholme. Explore your questions with others through group study, conversation and meditation.
The weekend is an excellent introduction to the Beshara School, and a chance to see things freshly from a unitive persepective, away from the concerns and distractions of everyday life.
This course is also a good opportunity to find out more about the Self Knowledge Global Responsibilty Six Month Winter Retreat and the Discovering Unity Two Year Modular Programme.
As each person is unique, so each course comprises different ingredients, and no two courses are ever the same. Study materials are chosen according to the themes and questions that arise from you and your fellow students, but are likely to include poems and writings of Rumi and Ibn ‘Arabi, as well as from other sources.
Accommodation and Timing: The course is fully residential. More about student facilities
It starts at supper time (7pm) on Friday evening and runs until Monday (a Bank Holiday) after lunch (about 2pm).
The location is Chisholme House, a beautiful, secluded estate on the edge of open moorland, deep in the hills of the Scottish Borders. It is roughly an hour’s drive from Edinburgh, Newcastle and Carlisle, with a regular bus service from Edinburgh and Carlisle to Hawick, the nearest town.
Cost: £150 including full board and lodging for three nights.
Note on course fees: There are no standard concessions offered on most courses, because the fees are already kept as low as possible. However, we do try to ensure the courses are accessible to those on low incomes, so please write to secretary@beshara.org to enquire about bursary possibilities if you would find the cost of a course prohibitive.
