A New Perspective on the Spiritual Journey
from the Lessons of the Gospels
Quadratos is a new name for the ancient four-fold journey of spirit and transformation found in all major religions, psychologies, the cycle of the seasons and the gospel sequence of Matthew, Mark, John and Luke.
In this retreat we will explore four questions, four paths of the one journey.
We explore:
How do we face change? through the gospel of Matthew
How do we move through suffering? - the gospel of Mark
How do we receive joy? - the gospel of John
How do we mature in service? - the gospel of Luke
Through presentation, reflection and simple art exercises,
we will explore the four-gospel journey in our lives.
The four gospel journey is a universal map that transforms lives.
It opens new ways to approach pastoral care and counselling,
as well as inspiration for preaching and teaching the Gospels.
Please join us for an exciting retreat.
