There are three main times in our calendar:
Led Retreats - These are focused retreats on a specific topic or theme led by speakers who are experts in their field. There is space within the retreat for both learning and reflection. When a retreat does not have exclusive use of the house, others are welcome to stay without joining in the retreat itself. Most retreats run from Monday to Friday or Friday to Sunday and some are open to day visitors.
Time and Space - This is time we set aside in our programme for individual personal retreat for those over 18 years old. The house is kept quieter in order to provide an environment more conducive to reflection and there are opportunities for worship and healing prayer. Individuals, couples or small groups are most welcome at this time. Our Quiet Days and Healing Services are held during Time and Space.
Open Time - Outside of Time and Space we are very much a venue to be used! We are perfectly located for those wanting to simply get away, as a base for exploring the local area or to attend an event locally. We also welcome families during these times and offer space for a variety of meetings, celebrations, courses and events such as prayer breakfasts or training events whether local or national.
