For many\, trauma makes us feel anything but. We often find ourselves caught between lived experience and spiritual platitudes\, wondering: How does my faith account for my nervous system? And where is God in the architecture of my pain? \n \n \n \n \n \n \nYou’re Invited!\nJoin us for the Beloved and Entrusted learning retreat at Stanton House\, Oxfordshire. This is more than training; it is a retreat into sanctuary. In the quiet village of Stanton St John\, we provide a safe\, gentle space to explore how the science of trauma and the truth of God’s healing redemption work together to bring us home to ourselves\, to each other and creation\, and to God. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n Who is this retreat for?\nThis learning retreat is ideal for leaders\, spiritual directors\, therapists\, counsellors\, and anyone wanting to develop personally\, professionally\, and spiritually… and who find themselves engaging with trauma. It is accredited by the Association of Christians in Counselling and Linked Professions (ACC) as CPD. \nIt consists of extended versions of the material covered in both the Beloved and Entrusted Training Day/Short Course and the Spiritual Practices for a Trauma-Healing Way Course\, all within the context of a fully catered weekend retreat. \n \n \n \n \n \n The Training & Experience\nWith the Beloved and Entrusted frameworks for understanding trauma and trauma-healing theology\, we move beyond theory into lived integration: \n\nTheology of Human Flourishing: Rediscover the One who wonderfully created us human for the good of ourselves and all around us.\nUnderstanding Trauma: Gain a clear\, evidence-based understanding of what trauma is\, how trauma impacts the whole human system\, and how it heals.\nTheology of Trauma and Its Healing: Discover the One who intricately designed our physiology\, honouring the “temple” that remembers\, and which He created to heal.\nEmbodied Spiritual Rhythms: Experience practices specifically curated so sensitive nervous systems can encounter God’s love and presence—integrated with the peace of Stanton House’s gardens and the comfort of home-cooked meals!\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nA Restorative Weekend\nOur flourishing is bolstered by the environment we inhabit. At Stanton House\, you will be supported by: \n\nNourishment: Enjoy the warmth of delicious\, home-cooked meals prepared with care.\nHome Comforts: Rest in the comfort of your own comfy bedroom with its own bathroom\, or make the most of the lounges and cosy corners with easy chairs.\nThe Grounds: Find moments for reflection in the beautiful\, expansive gardens—a natural cathedral for prayer\, breathing\, and grounding.\n\n\n\nThe Result\nYou will leave the Oxfordshire countryside with a clearer understanding of your story and practical tools for integrating your faith and humanity.
