Feedback from past courses:
'The retreat week … was wonderful. We studied extracts from three chapters, each followed by a written commentary by Peter Young. His commentaries ended with questions to help us relating what we had read to our hearts and minds.'

'Besides the study itself, this course was nurtured by the beautiful location in which it took place, and the quiet supportive manner in which the school staff assisted.    The course was an intensive, enjoyable, and deeply satisfying opportunity to consider one’s life and purpose in the light of extraordinary and illuminating mystical texts.'

'There was at least a glimpse for the possibility of this, that retreat can be done while living in the world.'
