Roxy - Photograph by Matilda Clifford Yesterday I saw a 12 week old Labrador puppy. She has the same light golden colour that our Roxy has and is beginning her training as a guide dog. We ran into each other by pure chance just as I was about to leave after my spiritual direction session. So inquisitive, gentle and with that sweet puppy breath. Her trainer was just about to enter their yard after their morning stroll. A few minutes later and I would have missed them. But I didn’t and it made such a difference. A dog is soft on the touch and although it may not count for much it is the theology of love as such George
The Restory is a Retreat Centre nestled against Tafelkop, a singular mountain head near Wakkerstroom, South Africa. Here we live a simple life as contemplatives. It is a place of re-connection: with ourselves, people, Nature, Silence and Creativity. Our retreats are aimed at this. Our conversations, writing and art centre around the univocity of life. We need a place that reminds us that we are all one. The Restory hopes to be such a place and space.
