Retraite – La contemplation un chemin d’ancrage et d’ouverture
2024-09-04 16:00 - 2024-09-08 14:30 | Spiritual Cener La Cova, Camí de la Cova ,17, Manresa, Barcelona, 08241
Retraite – La contemplation un chemin d’ancrage et d’ouverture
Perspective chrétien sur la non-dualité
En collaboration avec inTOUCH , la Chapelle pour l’Europe vous invite à cinq jours de ressourcement du 4 au 8 septembre 2024 au centre spirituel La Cova à Manresa en Catalogne, Espagne.
Dans cette petite ville, près de Montserrat, Ignace de Loyola passa une période d’une importance capitale pour sa vie et celle de beaucoup d’autres. Son lieu de prière privilégié était la cova, une cavité au-dessus de la rivière Cardoner ; c’est à cet endroit qu’a été construit l’actuel centre de spiritualité.
Dans ce lieu symbolique et porteur, Javier Melloni nous accompagnera dans une retraite-formation contemplative qui se déroulera en français et nous invitera à cheminer d’une existence trépidante, absente et distraite, vers une vie ancrée dans le moment présent, partout où nous nous trouvons. Il s’agit
de passer du repli à l’ouverture, du bruit au silence, de la dispersion à l’attention, de la résistance à l’abandon, du savoir au non-savoir, du faire à l’être …
La session, essentiellement en silence, sera rythmée par du travail corporel, intellectuel et spirituel, reflétant l’expérience de l’accompagnateur lui-même. Javier Melloni se tournera également vers l’héritage de diverses traditions religieuses et spirituelles, avec nombre de suggestions pour percer la surface de nos vies, y déceler les profondeurs du Réel et participer pleinement au ‘Présent’. Javier Melloni est anthropologue, théologien et chercheur en phénoménologie de la religion. Jésuite et spécialiste de la mystique, il a une profonde connaissance de nombreuses traditions spirituelles. Il vit à La Cova de San Ignacio, à Manresa et est l’auteur de plusieurs ouvrages, dont un a été traduit en français: Ouverture à la diversité religieuse (inTOUCH 2021).
Infos pratiques :
– Dates : mercredi 4 septembre (16h) – dimanche 8 septembre 2024 (14h)
– Lieu : Centre Spirituel La Cova, Camí de la Cova 17, 08241 Manresa, Province de Barcelone,
Espagne

Movie Night: Inside Out
2024-09-17 19:00 - 21:00 | Chapel for Europe, Rue Van Maerlantstraat 22-24, Brussels, Belgium
Come join our first Movie Night of the semester with the refreshing-packed-with-emotions film Inside Out .
English with French subtitles.
This 2015 Pixar movie takes us to the mind of an 11 year-old girl, Riley, where emotions take center stage.
The film’s unique concept and stunning animation are matched by its heartfelt storytelling. Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust, each with their own distinct personalities, guide us through Riley’s emotional landscape as she navigates a life-changing move.
The film deftly balances humor and poignancy, exploring complex themes of loss, change, and the importance of embracing all emotions. Inside Out is a must-see for all ages, a touching reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always a glimmer of hope.
