Learning
The educational programme at each CPW event is built around a particular theme. The theme could explore a piece of scripture, Catholic Social Teaching, or another aspect of our Christian life. The theme is well researched by the chair and the speakers are chosen to complement the theme. On all-age weeks a parallel programme is designed for the young people. Education is at the heart of CPW’s ethos and our commitment to learning encourages us to challenge our knowledge and opinions, and embrace new ideas.
On this page we have included links to download a past adult programme, speaker list and research document. These examples offer an insight into the research and planning that goes into the learning aspect of a CPW event.

We shall try to understand what is really going on at Mass, what our part is in that and what it means for how we interact with the world and the people around us.
If you enjoy walking and want to practice Christian meditation/contemplation, this weekend is for you!
As members will know the church has just finished the first gathering in Rome of the Synodal process. At our BGM we thought it valuable to reflect on what is happening in the church and the implications for CPW.
During this week we will be inviting each other to go on a dig to unearth and share treasures of scripture, stories, perennial wisdom, film, music, art and life experiences which have impacted, transformed, affected or even just slightly shifted the lens so as to influence and modify how we see.
Growing old often brings with it challenges of failing health, memory and mobility. But it can also bring many blessings – wisdom, patience, freedom and time.
Walking in nature, alone or with others, is a physical activity with intrinsic spiritual depth. Our Eastertide walks in North Yorkshire (God’s Own County, some say) will encompass the ancient abbeys of Rievaulx, Byland and Whitby.
After a fantastic weekend last year we're just testing plans for this coming year... 2023
