To mark World Health Day, Sean Fletcher joins Christians at a spiritual retreat centre in north Wales to explore how faith can improve health and wellbeing for mind, body and soul. \n\nSean spends the day in the beautiful surroundings of St Beuno’s Jesuit Spirituality Centre in Tremeirchion, Denbighshire, which draws people from all over the world to come on a spiritual retreat. He meets people leading and experiencing the retreats, which include spending time in silence and completing spiritual exercises based on the teachings of St Ignatius. \n\nHeading out on a silent prayer walk, Sean discovers how ‘finding God in all things’ can help people to pray and feel closer to God. And he meets Christians who have found St Beuno’s to be a place of great healing and sanctuary. \n\nIn the hustle and bustle of Lambeth, south London, we also meet a busy Christian GP whose faith has called her to help people beyond the surgery walls. Dr Chi-Chi Ekhator provides pop-up health clinics at surprising locations in her local community and offers fresh fruit and vegetables on prescription. \n\nWith music including inspiring congregational hymns that reflect how important faith can be for our health and wellbeing. \n\n1. In Heavenly Love Abiding - St Asaph Cathedral \n2. I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say - Brecon Cathedral Choir \n3. Great Is Thy Faithfulness - The Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich \n4. Soul of My Saviour - Leeds Cathedral \n5. Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer - Holy Trinity Church, Long Melford \n6. Be Still for the Presence of the Lord - Christ Church, Port Sunlight
