You're unlikely ever to have to climb Everest, but you will definitely have to negotiate challenges along the road of life, and some of those challenges will feel like mountains. You've probably developed a few coping strategies to get you through the hard times (mine range from becoming a control freak to eating too much chocolate), but when the Bible talks about navigating difficult situations, it points our gaze away from the strategies and the 'how to' books, towards the faithful friend and Sherpa who offers us his presence on the journey. In the Psalms, you will meet the God who accompanies you, shouldering your burdens and guiding your feet, holding you close in the valleys of shadow, and taking your hand as you scale the heights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeep Night, bright morning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anita Cleverly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot one of us travels through life without experiencing profound sadness and loss, or free from battle, whether in circumstance, in relationships or within ourselves. In this seminar we will look at how the Psalmists, especially David, responded to these things, and discover-or rediscover-secure handholds for the dark nights of the soul, as John of the Cross called such times. We will think about bereavement, anger, forgiveness, confession, waiting, and about finding God in the dark. My prayer is that our time together would not be an end in itself, but simply a doorway to something much deeper and wider for each one of us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen we need comfort and assurance: \u003c\/strong\u003eEllie Hart\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lord is my shepherd, my light, my fortress. The Psalms are a beautiful example to us of how we can turn to God for comfort and assurance even in distinctly uncomfortable and uncertain times. This session will use art, storytelling and scripture to explore the themes of Psalms 23 and 27, drawing on those deep wells to find truth that we can stand on and find strength in, even in difficult times. It will include some time to listen to God for yourself and reflect on how He can be shepherd, light and fortress in your own life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen we face difficulties:\u003c\/strong\u003e Claire Musters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat do we do when our world falls apart (whether it was expected or a total surprise)? How do we keep our faith in the severest of life's storms or when we feel constantly buffeted by difficulty after difficulty? Claire Musters looks at how God has given us a language to express our deepest pain and sorrow to him through the psalms of lament (the largest selection of psalms there are). He is happy for us to be totally honest with him - so Claire will take time to look at how we can engage with the psalms in order to do just that. she will also share personal stories of how the psalms have helped her cling to God when all around her life seems to be falling apart. Whether you are facing relationship or financial difficulties, ill health, bereavement or any other of life's storms (from which none of us are immune) this workshop will show you that you are not alone - and remind you that God is right in the midst of it with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePsalms of praise and thanksgiving:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diane Watts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe workshop will look at some of the key themes focussing on the nature and work of God that lead to praise and thanksgiving in the Psalms .

Music is incarnational. Music speaks to us of the incarnation of God in Christ, of promise and fulfilment and it signifies the eternal nature of God by means of filling time and space with sound. When we try and find language to describe a profound and beautiful piece of music we often resort to the language the transcendent. Listening, therefore, becomes a very important action, as Rowan Williams has said: 'To listen seriously to music and to perform it are among our most potent ways of learning what it is to live with and before God.' Through an interactive and illustrated talk, we will explore how, through the active participation of listening, we can encounter the sublime in music, leading us towards the chief subject of all artistic and natural beauty, which is love and, ultimately, God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePraying in community (Kate Seagrave)\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe will explore what it means to take to understand our relationship to the Christian community as that of a body in prayer. We will look at the ways in which our personal, devotional lives shape the community we are part of, and seek to recognise challenges to our corporate prayer lives. Drawing on a variety of traditions from the Anglican, Pentecostal, and Orthodox churches we will seek to expand our imagination of what could happen when we pray together, and how our prayer lives might be changed when we start to consciously seek our personal prayer as communal. With a mixture of input and practical experimentation, we will put community prayer into practice as we learn from each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeing real with God and letting God be real with you (\u003cem\u003eJohn Stroyan\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReflecting on how we can and must be who we truly are with God.

Music is incarnational. Music speaks to us of the incarnation of God in Christ, of promise and fulfilment and it signifies the eternal nature of God by means of filling time and space with sound. When we try and find language to describe a profound and beautiful piece of music we often resort to the language the transcendent. Listening, therefore, becomes a very important action, as Rowan Williams has said: 'To listen seriously to music and to perform it are among our most potent ways of learning what it is to live with and before God.' Through an interactive and illustrated talk, we will explore how, through the active participation of listening, we can encounter the sublime in music, leading us towards the chief subject of all artistic and natural beauty, which is love and, ultimately, God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePraying in community (Kate Seagrave)\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe will explore what it means to take to understand our relationship to the Christian community as that of a body in prayer.
