ABOUT CLEOPAS

​In Cleopas we are passionate about nurturing the life God intended His followers to know. 
​A life lived from the resources of the Kingdom of God and transformed by His divine grace to reflect the character and beauty of Christ. A life that shines in the darkness and brings compassion and God's forgiving grace to the world.

Are you longing for some quiet space, a time when you  can set aside all the demands of your every day and and simply be still, find rest and listen for the still small voice of God?
Cleopas  creates opportunity for time apart with God through retreats and quiet days, spiritual accompaniment,  seminars & short courses on Christian spiritual formation.

"Christian Leaders, we are especially committed to your support. Check out our Calendar and Retreats page to see whats on. Or sign up for one on one spiritual accompaniment, an opportunity for personal support".

ROZ STIRLING
​FOUNDER OF CLEOPAS

Get to know me

​Welcome!
I am the founder and Director of Cleopas, a ministry that offers retreat and reflective space for any Christian seeking to discover the deep joy of abiding more deeply in Christ.
My former profession was as a high school teacher but I have spent many years in a variety of Christian ministry roles. It is through this experience of Christian leadership that I have discovered the vital place for personal soul care, by which I mean, prioritising personal, relational time with the Lord, and learning how to live out of the place of 'abiding in Him'. If this excites you, as it does me, then we will have much to offer you.
​
Thank you for taking time to explore our Cleopas website.

What  others have said...

I am a  a young minister just starting out on a career that I have wanted to follow since I  was a child. Today's retreat reminded me why  I want to be in ministry.  I long to know God  deeply and pass on an understanding of this amazing life that we can know if we follow God. Roz's ability to open scripture and make it live, is very special. I am leaving this retreat today totally invigorated and hungry for more.''

“
​I am absolutely delighted to commend to you my dear friend, Roz Stirling. What she brings to the church is refreshment, wisdom, experience, pastoral skill and a heart authentically in love with Jesus. I like to say, “she couples everything good about Ireland with everything hopeful and healing about Jesus.”  I would strongly encourage anyone to join her in a retreat experience. It will be an opportunity for deep, memorable, Christ-centered refreshment.”

​Thank you Roz for yesterday's retreat. It was so refreshing. I have read the retreat notes four times since I got home this evening and with every reading I got  even more.  As someone who has a busy job as a teacher and mother, I can honestly say this has been such a blessing to me and given me such a sense of rootedness in God.  Please keep me on your mailing list. Thank you.
