C. S. Lewis surmised, “You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” With this quote in mind, our Live Your Bliss retreat attendees enjoyed an afternoon exploring sites related to the beloved author including his former home, The Kilns, and a lecture from literary critic and theologian Dr. Michael Ward, who is recognized as the foremost C. S. Lewis scholar in the world. As we close the page on this magical week, we hope you will consider joining us for one or both of Victoria’s upcoming Live Your Bliss retreats in England and Scotland!
