Retreats and quiet days based on Mark's book 'The Gospel of Falling Down'

We hear a lot about the gospel of success, but most of us are more accustomed to failure, or at least not reaching our high ideals. Based on his book of the same title, Mark will explore the beauty of failure in an age of achievement, being convinced that it is not in ‘climbing the ladder of perfection’ that we meet God, but in falling from it.
Mark uses a combination of magic and spiritual teaching to evoke the ‘priest’/’magician’ within all. He has worked with such diverse groups as Masai warriors and Catholic nuns. This retreat or quiet day is for anyone who has a sense that it is in the cracks and the faults of life that something beautiful can be discovered.
