Llysfasi Spirituality Workshop
The team facilitating the 2012 Llysfasi Spirituality Workshop:
MARY ROSE FITZSIMMONS HHS
Mary Rose’s work in spirituality began in Glasgow in the 1970s in the Helpers’ retreat house. This work, mainly with women and young people, opened up her desire to earth the Ignatian Exercises in ordinary life and to make them more accesssible to people. Since then she has accompanied people in many different contexts, including school chaplaincy and Weeks of Accompanied Prayer and is involved in the training of Accompaniers. She has been part of the Llysfasi Team since its origins and ongoing development and continues to be inspired by the process. Mary Rose has been living in London for the past two years, taking some time for her own formation, including a year with ‘Re.Vision’. She will soon be moving from there to the Liverpool community where she will continue to enjoy being immersed in life ... and see what’s next! She enjoys music, art, reading, film, the sea, and people.
LIZ GRANT
Liz took part in the Llysfasi Workshop in 1994 whilst living in France and working alongside the Taizé Community. It was a watershed moment in her spiritual journey and helped her to discover that God is to be found in all parts of ourselves. Now living in South London, Liz works as a psychotherapist and spiritual director. She teaches and supervises at the London Centre for Spirituality and is at present engaged in a course on Jungian Analytic Psychology. When there is time she is in her garden trying to turn what was a building site into something more creative!
MICHAEL WATERFIELD
Attended Llysfasi in 2007 and felt he had come home spiritually. In the unfolding process, he says his story and the story being told through him, clicked. He is dedicated to the continuation of the Llysfasi Workshop process which he experienced as a remarkable gift. He was one time co‑ordinator in an ecumenical Benedictine lay community. Michael who had a practice in Dorset as a psychotherapist is now a tutor on another spiritual accompanying course and a companion to others. He likes stories, pottery and dancing – anything that is soul‑making
