Provisional dates: 11–15 October 2027. Spark is not yet officially on sale.

This is an advance notice for the next Spark retreat. The dates are provisional, and venue, arrival and departure times, programme, pricing, and booking details will be announced once confirmed.

Simone Weil drew a powerful distinction between will and attention. The will is oriented toward doing: movement, achievement, and progress. Attention involves a disciplined stillness—a sustained and courageous form of observation that resists the urge to intervene, correct, or resolve.

Spark is a retreat designed to cultivate this kind of attention. It creates the conditions for sustained reflection on what already structures our lives: the habits, fantasies, beliefs, and symptoms that both sustain and undermine us.

Drawing on the previous retreat, Spark invites participants to develop a curiosity toward the patterns, repetitions, beliefs, and desires that quietly organise their lives. Through the practices of Pyrotheology, it explores a concrete experience of grace: silencing the demand to change long enough for a real shift to happen.

At its heart, Spark is an immersive experiment in communion—a relation that emerges from the mutual recognition of a fundamental lack that we all share.

Through teaching, group work, art, music, and reflection, Spark invites us to inhabit the contradictions of being human in a more honest, enjoyable, and emancipatory way.
