Insights from the River for the Journey of Faith

Rivers flow through Scripture, turning the desert into fertile ground, welling up in springs of living water. Rivers map our lives, sometimes gently meandering, at other times tossed over rapids. This retreat draws on Scripture and other writing, images, poetry and the natural world to deepen our understanding of ourselves, our journey, and our relationship to the Source of all life.
This retreat has five parts and this page contains the audio reflections which you can return to as often as you wish. You also have the transcripts for these reflections, and some additional material on each theme in your booklet or PDF.
The music for the retreat is from Purple Planet, where Chris Martyn and Geoff Harvey produce royalty-free music – music by real people, no AI! The cover image for the retreat is by Jill Dimond on Unsplash, a British artist inspired by wildlife and nature. The Retreat Guide for A River Runs Through It can be found here, with lots more information about how the retreats work and (I hope!) some helpful suggestions.
