Breathing Space — Holy Covenant Spirituality Centre

Breathing Space builds on what is already happening in the parish to deepen people's spiritual lives. If you are interested in exploring ways of listening to self, each other and to God, and developing spiritual practices that are life enhancing, Breathing Space may be just what you need. Our vision is that Breathing Space will offer a safe place for exploring and sharing our stories either through one on one spiritual direction or companioning, or through participation in a range of group activities.
