Nourishing Your Ministry, Strengthening Our Community
“In this house, all must be friends, all must be loved, all must be held dear, all must be helped.” — St. Teresa of Ávila
At the Carmelite Spirituality Network, we believe that excellence in ministry is cultivated through ongoing formation, peer support, and shared wisdom. Our events calendar offers a rhythm of learning, reflection, and community that sustains spirituality practitioners throughout the year.
Whether you are seeking to deepen your competence through our Enriching Ministry Days, longing for spiritual renewal through our seasonal retreats, or looking to connect with fellow practitioners through our Community Offerings, you will find a welcoming space shaped by the Carmelite values of contemplation, friendship, and mutual support.
Find What Nourishes Your Ministry
Our calendar features three types of offerings:
Enriching Ministry Days (EMDs) Quarterly gatherings featuring expert speakers on topics essential to soul care ministry—safeguarding, trauma-informed practice, ethics, and the spiritual foundations of accompaniment. Each EMD includes a keynote presentation followed by interactive workshops designed to strengthen your practice.
Seasonal Retreats Lenten and Advent retreat days offering members dedicated time for personal renewal, contemplative prayer, and spiritual refreshment in the company of fellow practitioners.
Community Offerings Throughout the year, CSN members share their gifts with the wider community through a rich variety of programmes—Lectio Divina sessions, book clubs, reading circles, Bible study groups, prayer gatherings, and more. These offerings reflect the creativity and charisms of our members and embody our commitment to mutual enrichment.
