AT THE HEART OF OUR WORK:
FIVE-DAY RETREATS AT NEW LANDS
A retreat at New Lands provides the opportunity to withdraw from the outer world and spend a few days in White Eagle's home—in beautiful surroundings and countryside, being nourished both physically and spiritually.
It is a special time for reconnecting with your soul purpose, through meditation and communion with the divine spirit within and the higher worlds. Retreats also offer time for lightheartedness and companionship with like-minded people. Indeed friendships are often forged which last for years.
In order to be able to lead people in the deeper aspects of White Eagle's teaching and meditation, we offer retreat places just to members of the Lodge. On all retreats there will be times for meditation, attunement, worship, spiritual service, discussion, spiritual practice, teaching and questions. During the five days there will be opportunities to attend contact Healing services, and possibly to sit on an absent
healing group.
Food at New Lands is plentiful, vegetarian, and organic where possible. We can provide vegan meals if_requested_beforehand. We also have soya milk and rye bread available. It is important to realise, however, that with only one cook/housekeeper we cannot provide more choices at meals.There will always be vegetables, fruit and cheese available, but if you have any other intolerances we ask you to bring food with you.
In harmony with White Eagle's teaching, we like to keep New Lands a meat-free and fish-free zone, and non-smoking.
At the end of the retreat we hope people will leave having opened up a wider channel between the earthly personality and the spiritual self, and feel refreshed and at peace.
Each retreat runs from Saturday afternoon and ends after breakfast on Thursday morning.

Understanding the Self and Others
led by
Anna Hayward
Saturday 26th April - Thursday 1st May
Earthly personalities and relationships are creative areas of challenge and joy. Anna creates a safe, non-confrontational environment in which to explore the self in a most positive way; using our spiritual teaching to bring light and reassurance and thus helping us with all kinds of relationships.

Sound and the Creative Self
led by
Anna Hayward
Saturday 24th May - Thursday 29th May
White Eagle says: 'This is the Ancient Wisdom ... the temple training of the past ... the becoming aware of the land of light, of the world light, of the light within the soul; of the effect of colour upon the soul, upon the mind, upon the body ... the effect of perfume ... the effect of sound.' Using White Eagle's teaching, we will explore many aspects of sound, silence and the creativity which is part of our being.
Please email for further details.

The Sacredness of Nature
led by
Colum Hayward
Saturday 21st June - Thursday 26th June
This retreat falls at the time of the Summer Solstice and just after the Christ full moon. Although the heart of this Retreat is White Eagle's meditation, Colum will also help participants find new connections with nature, through observation and time outdoors. There will be time to be silent and contemplate the magic of the creative world. We learn to understand the natural world not just as beauty in physical form, but as an etheric landscape.
Please email for further details.

Touching the Angelic Vibration
led by
Anna Hayward
Saturday 26th July - Thursday 31st July
We may not all be able to 'see' angels, but the angelic vibrations are available at many different levels and in other ways. This retreat focusses on our relationship with those finer energies and how to make them part of our lives.

Absent Healing Retreat
led by
Astra Ferro
Saturday 27th September - Thursday 2nd October

Taking your Meditation Further

Colum Hayward
Saturday 11th October - Thursday 16th October
Last year Colum ran a much-appreciated basic meditation weekend, and during this retreat week he will support all participants in developing a well-grounded and heart-centred personal practice. He will help us gain confidence in ourselves and our ability to make our own inner contact.

Building a Bridge to the World of Light
and Communion with our loved ones in Spirit
led by
Jenny Dent
Saturday 8th November - 13th November
During this Retreat we will explore White Eagle's beautiful teaching about the heaven world and how we can all learn to 'thin the veil' which separates us from our loved ones, guides and angelic helpers.

Cost of Five-Day Retreats and New Lands Bursaries
Retreat fees can be paid in instalments to suit you. We have made a fresh policy decision this year, and reduced the cost of a full Retreat in 2008 to £295, with a single room supplement (if the single room is requested) of £50.
We look on the residential spiritual activities at New Lands as a core of the service which the White Eagle Lodge offers as a Charitable Religious Trust. Accordingly, we wish to make it possible for the largest practical number of friends and members to enjoy beauty and nurture of events at White Eagle's home, even though this means that New Lands is predicted to run at an overall annual loss. White Eagle's tells us: "We wish our home to be always warm and always open". We invite you to enjoy time at White Eagle's home of New Lands.
If you would very much like to apply for a Retreat but could only come with the assistance of a Retreat bursary, please write in confidence to Anna Hayward. In accord with our new policy, we are also especially grateful if members and friends are generously willing to make it possible for others—who are actively engaged in White Eagle's work, but are prevented for financial reasons from experiencing the enrichment of a Retreat at New Lands—to do so. If you are kindly able to help other members of White Eagle's family in this way, please send your gift to our Treasurer, marked 'Retreat Bursary'.
Your contribution, be it great or small, will be very gratefully appreciated.
